Convert SVG artwork into WebP, the format that gives you smaller files than PNG or JPG at the same visual quality while keeping sharp edges and transparency. That combination is what makes it the default choice for icons and logos on a modern website.
WebP is supported by every current browser, so the compatibility worry is largely historical. If you still need to serve very old clients, keep a PNG fallback; otherwise WebP is simply the better file.

FAQ
Is WebP supported everywhere?
Yes in current Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, including mobile. Only very old browsers need a PNG or JPG fallback.
Is it smaller than PNG?
For most graphics, noticeably - often 25-50% smaller at the same visual quality, and it keeps transparency where PNG would be larger.
Can WebP be animated?
The format supports animation, but this converter produces a single still image from your SVG.
How do I use it on my site?
Reference it as you would any image - a .webp file in an <img> tag works directly, and browsers that support it will use it automatically.
Will image editors open it?
Current versions of Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity and most code editors handle WebP. Very old tools may not, which is the main reason to keep a PNG copy.
Is my file uploaded?
No, the conversion happens locally in your browser.

Which output format to choose
If you started with an SVG and need a bitmap, PNG is almost always the right answer: it keeps transparency, has no compression artefacts around edges and text, and stays crisp if you render at two or three times the display size. Choose JPG only when you need the smallest possible file and there is no transparency or fine detail to protect, and remember it cannot represent transparency at all - transparent areas become white or black. Choose WebP when the image is going onto a website and you want both transparency and a smaller file. Whatever you pick, export at a higher resolution than you think you need: downscaling a large clean render always looks better than upscaling a small one.
Practical notes for SVG output
SVG is text, so it scales with the resolution you choose at export: rendering at 2x or 3x the intended display size keeps it crisp on high-density screens. Because it is text it also compresses and caches well, and it can be styled with CSS and animated. Two things to watch: text in an SVG depends on the fonts being available, so converting text to outlines makes a file that looks identical everywhere but is no longer selectable or searchable; and SVGs can contain scripts and external references, which is why upload forms and email clients often refuse them.
