WebP (Web Picture format)

WebP is an image format developed by Google and released in 2010 to make web images lighter. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, so it can replace JPG, PNG and GIF in many cases. All modern browsers display it, although some older desktop programs still cannot open it.

Use WebP for images on websites and apps, where smaller files mean faster pages. If you need to send an image to someone who will edit it or open it in older software, JPG or PNG are the more compatible choice.
