Three steps
Add logos, screenshots or graphics, with or without transparency.
Lossless keeps every pixel exact and still shrinks the file. Lossy goes much smaller and suits photographic content.
Transparency is preserved either way.
Why this one
Unlike converting to JPEG, the alpha channel comes through intact, which is what makes this the right conversion for logos.
WebP lossless typically beats PNG by 20 to 30 percent with zero pixel change, so there is a saving with no trade at all.
A screenshot wants lossless and a photographic PNG wants lossy, and guessing wrong costs either quality or file size.
The short version
PNG is the safe choice for anything with transparency, and safe has a cost: a page carrying a dozen PNG graphics is heavier than it needs to be. WebP does the same job, keeps the transparency, and is smaller even without discarding a single pixel, which makes lossless WebP one of the few genuinely free improvements in web performance.
Questions
Yes, fully. WebP carries an alpha channel in both its lossless and lossy modes, which is why it can replace PNG rather than only JPEG.
Lossless for logos, icons, screenshots and anything with sharp edges or text. Lossy for photographs and complex imagery, where the saving is far larger and the loss is invisible.
Lossless typically saves 20 to 30 percent against PNG. Lossy can save 80 percent or more on photographic content, which is the bigger prize when the image suits it.
On a page with many of them, yes, since the savings add up. For a single small icon the difference is negligible and PNG is one less thing to think about.
Free, and staying free
Thridy is a library of thousands of 3D icons in one consistent style, free for commercial use with no attribution and no account. The tools exist so you never have to upload an image to somebody else's server to resize it.
