Can I convert a WebP image to pixel art?

Yes. Drop a WebP file and it is decoded locally, then converted with the same block-size, palette, and dithering controls as any other format.

Is WebP better than JPG for pixel art?

For photos the result is very close — both store smooth gradients. WebP is smaller at the same quality, so it is common on the web. The converter handles both identically.

Does the WebP conversion upload my image?

No. WebP decoding and pixelation happen entirely in your browser with Canvas — the file never leaves your device.

tips

Pixel art from WebP: the web-native workflow

WebP is the most common format on the modern web — screenshots, hero images, and social media graphics are often WebP. Because it is decoded locally, you can convert anything you can drag in, including images grabbed straight from a web page. Start with block size 8 for bold pixel art or 4 to keep facial detail, and add dithering when the source has smooth gradients that would otherwise band.

when to use

WebP for web graphics, PNG for transparency, JPG for photos

Reach for the WebP converter when your source came from the web — screenshots, downloaded art, browser-saved images. Use the PNG converter for logos and sprites with transparency, and the JPG converter for classic photo uploads. Building in Minecraft? The build planner maps any of these to blocks with material counts.
