Do you mean lossless? PNGs are not lossy. A large photo with alpha channel in a lossless png could easily be 20x the size of a lossy webp

Pre-processing does not a codec make (this is why .gif is considered lossless even though you lose all that 24-bit colour goodness)

PNG of course can be lossy. They aren’t great at it, but depending on the image can be good enough.
