WebP Format
Google’s modern web format: smaller than JPG and PNG, with transparency.
What is WebP?
WebP is an image format developed by Google for the web. Lossy WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same quality, and lossless WebP about 25% smaller than PNG. It supports transparency and animation.
Browser support
All modern browsers — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Opera — support WebP. Some older desktop software and print services still expect JPG or PNG.
When to use WebP
Use WebP for almost every image on a modern website: photos, product images, and graphics with transparency. It improves page speed and Core Web Vitals.
