1Why Convert to WebP?
WebP images are 25–35% smaller than JPEG and PNG at equivalent quality. Google recommends WebP for web performance (Core Web Vitals). Converting your images to WebP can significantly improve page load speed.
2Convert PNG to WebP in Node.js
Use the Convert Fleet API to convert any image to WebP format.
javascript
const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs');
const FormData = require('form-data');
async function toWebP(input, output) {
const form = new FormData();
form.append('file', fs.createReadStream(input));
form.append('to', 'webp');
const res = await axios.post('https://convertfleet.com/api/convert', form, {
headers: { ...form.getHeaders(), 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' },
responseType: 'arraybuffer',
});
fs.writeFileSync(output, res.data);
console.log('WebP saved!');
}
toWebP('photo.png', 'photo.webp');That's it!
