✓ Quick answer

Does WebP support transparent backgrounds?

Yes. WebP supports an alpha channel like PNG, usually at a much smaller file size. Upload your image, remove the background and choose WebP in the download menu.

How to transparent WebP images

  1. 01

    Upload your image

    Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file into the uploader, paste it with Ctrl+V, or paste an image URL.

  2. 02

    AI removes the background

    Our segmentation model finds the subject and cuts it out with soft, hair-level edges in a few seconds.

  3. 03

    Download or edit

    Download a transparent PNG, or swap in a solid colour, a photo or a blurred background first.

Why WebP for the web

Smaller images load faster, which helps both visitors and SEO. WebP with transparency is supported by every modern browser.
