Why Use WebP?

Discover the benefits of using WebP format for your website images. Smaller file sizes, better quality, and faster loading times.

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster.

Introduction

WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.

Main Advantages

WebP supports both lossless and lossy compression, as well as transparency (alpha channel). This means you can have transparent backgrounds like PNG, but with file sizes comparable to or smaller than JPEG. This is particularly important for improving the mobile user experience.
