Converting a 1.4 MB PNG to WebP for the web
A PNG screenshot with some transparency is 1.4 MB. Converting to WebP at 80% quality typically produces a 250–400 KB file — a 70–80% saving with visually identical output on screen. Converting the same PNG to JPG loses the transparency and still lands larger than WebP, which is why WebP is the default recommendation for web images.
