The best way to convert png to webp without losing quality?

P.S. Photos app is not a good way to convert PNG files to WebP. If you've got a whole bunch of PNGs to convert, good luck doing that in Paint! You would have to open each one manually, convert it, and save it again. It's a total time-suck if you're dealing with multiple files. There's no "select all" and convert that you might see in more advanced software.
WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression. If you go for lossy and set the quality too low, your image might look more like a pixelated mess than a clear picture. Aim for that sweet spot—usually setting quality to around 80-90% is a good starting point.
Sometimes, When converting PNG to WebP on computer, forgetting to check file paths leads to errors. If your PNG is in a protected folder or you accidentally try to write the converted file into a read-only section, the conversion will fail. Always double-check where you're saving those files!
