What is WebP?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google and released in 2010. It uses advanced compression algorithms from the VP8 video codec to achieve smaller file sizes than both JPG and PNG while maintaining comparable visual quality. WebP supports lossy compression (like JPG), lossless compression (like PNG), transparency (like PNG), and animated images (like GIF).
Google's own research shows WebP lossy images are 25–34% smaller than comparable JPG images, and lossless WebP images are 26% smaller than PNG. As of 2024, WebP is supported by over 97% of browser users worldwide, making it safe to use as the primary image format for most websites.
