Why WebP is the Future of Web Images

WebP was developed by Google as a modern replacement for older image formats. It uses advanced compression techniques derived from VP8 video compression to achieve significantly smaller file sizes while maintaining visual quality.

WebP Features

  • Lossy compression - 25-35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality
  • Lossless compression - 26% smaller than PNG on average
  • Transparency support - Alpha channel support like PNG
  • Animation support - Can replace animated GIFs with much smaller files

When to Use WebP

WebP is ideal for:

  • All web images - Best overall format for websites
  • Photos and graphics - Handles both types well
  • Images with transparency - Smaller than PNG with alpha
  • Animations - Much smaller than GIF with better quality

WebP Browser Support

WebP enjoys excellent browser support:

  • Chrome 17+ (2012)
  • Firefox 65+ (2019)
  • Safari 14+ (2020)
  • Edge 18+ (2018)

This covers over 97% of web users. For the remaining users, consider using the HTML picture element with JPEG/PNG fallbacks.
