On Convert Bench
WEBP plays a fairly flexible role on Convert Bench because it can be used both as an upload format and as a destination format.
If you start with WEBP, some of the direct outputs currently available include SVG, BMP, ICO, ICNS, IFF, and more. Going the other direction, formats such as BMP, ICO, ICNS, IFF, JPEG, and more can also end up as WEBP.

20When this format is a good fit
WEBP is a strong option when website performance matters and you want smaller files without making images look obviously poor. It is especially useful for modern web delivery, where shaving image weight can help pages load faster without forcing every graphic into the same old PNG or JPG trade-offs.
What to know before converting
WEBP is widely supported now, but not every legacy tool or workflow handles it as comfortably as PNG or JPG. It is a great delivery format, yet it is not always the best long-term master if a team still relies on older editors or cross-system compatibility.
Practical conversion notes
- WEBP is often worth trying for site images where speed and file size matter more than perfect editability.
- If the image will keep moving through older tools, consider keeping a PNG or PSD master alongside the WEBP export.
- WEBP works in both directions on this site, so compare target choices before converting and keep the original file until you are happy with the result.
