Am I missing some option? Because when I try to export a PNG to WebP, it loses its transparency.
using
this tool with the same file, it retains transparency.

If you open it in xnview, the background is transparent, but if you try to export to webp, it's no longer transparent.

Palette-based PNGs with an alpha channel have to be converted to
truecolor with alpha channel in order for transparency to be preserved during export:
- Image → Change color depth… → 32 bits
