Convert SVG to WebP

WebP is the web's compact image format: it keeps transparency like PNG and is usually much smaller. This draws your SVG at the width you choose and saves it as a WebP — handy where a site, app or builder takes images but not SVG.

How to convert SVG to WebP

  1. Step 1

    Add your SVG file

    Drag your SVG file into the box, or choose it from your device. It can be up to 20 MB.

  2. Step 2

    Choose your settings

    Adjust Output size (1024px wide), Quality (85%) and Keep transparency (on), or keep the starting values in brackets, which suit most files.

  3. Step 3

    Press Convert to WebP

    The work happens on our servers, and you can follow its progress.

  4. Step 4

    Download your WebP file

    Your upload is already deleted, and the result is deleted after one hour.

Worth knowing

Rasterising is one-way: the WebP is fixed at the width you choose, so pick one comfortably larger than where it will be shown. Keep your original SVG for editing.

  • Using a vector illustration where a website builder will not accept SVG
  • Making lightweight transparent images for a fast-loading page
  • Producing app or store artwork at an exact pixel width
