What is WebP?
WebP is an image format Google introduced in 2010 to shrink images on the web. It supports both lossy and lossless compression as well as transparency and animation, and typically produces smaller files than JPEG or PNG. It's now one of the most common formats for images saved from websites.
WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression, so file size and fidelity depend on how each file was encoded. It supports both transparency and animation. Files can carry EXIF/XMP metadata.
WebP was developed by Google and is an open standard.
