Add your PNG to the board
Drop a File node onto the Brainy Canvas canvas and upload the PNG, or connect any node that already outputs a PNG.
Shrink a PNG into a WebP that keeps transparency while cutting file size 25–35%.
PNG gives you lossless quality and an alpha channel, which is why it dominates logos, screenshots, and UI graphics — but its DEFLATE compression is dated, and PNG files are heavy. WebP was designed to fix exactly that: using VP8L for lossless and VP8 for lossy, it retains transparency while typically producing files 25–35% smaller than the equivalent PNG. Converting PNG to WebP is the standard web-performance optimization when your visitors use modern browsers (all current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge decode WebP). You keep the crisp edges and transparency of the original while shipping fewer bytes, which means faster page loads and lighter asset bundles.
Drop your file onto a Brainy Canvas board, connect the converter node, and download the result. New accounts get free starter credits — enough for roughly 200 image conversions — with no card required.
Drop a File node onto the Brainy Canvas canvas and upload the PNG, or connect any node that already outputs a PNG.
Wire the file into the Image Converter node and select WebP as the output format. ImageMagick re-encodes it server-side into WebP.
A lighter WebP with transparency preserved appears on the node. Download it or route it onward into your publishing pipeline.
