Specification https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/riff_container
Description WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, alpha transparency, and animation in a single format. This versatility makes it particularly valuable for the web, where reducing file sizes without sacrificing visual quality directly improves page load speeds and user experience.
Typical usage
  • Web graphics and photos where smaller file sizes improve page performance
  • Images that require transparency with minimal size impact
  • Replacing both JPEG and PNG assets with a single format for efficiency
  • Animated images as a more efficient alternative to GIF
Typical use cases
  • Optimizing e-commerce product images to load quickly without quality loss
  • Serving responsive images for high-DPI (Retina) displays while keeping bandwidth low
  • Replacing animated GIFs with smaller, smoother WebP animations
  • Reducing storage and CDN bandwidth costs for large image libraries
Widely supported by
  • All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14+)
  • Design tools like Photoshop (with plugin), GIMP, and Affinity Photo
  • Image processing libraries including libwebp, Sharp, and ImageMagick
Tooling Read: libwebp, Sharp, ImageMagick | Write: libwebp, Sharp, ImageMagick

Compression method Lossy (predictive coding, similar to VP8) and Lossless (local palette, entropy coding)
Interlacing Not supported; entire image is decoded progressively in chunks
Advantages
  • Significantly smaller file sizes than JPEG or PNG at equivalent visual quality.
  • Supports both lossy and lossless compression modes in one format.
  • Full alpha channel support for transparency in both compression modes.
  • Animation support makes it a superior alternative to GIF for quality and file size.
  • Broad browser and tool support has grown, making it viable for production web use.
Disadvantages
  • Older browsers and some legacy devices lack native WebP support, requiring fallback formats.
  • Encoding complexity can be higher, making compression slower for very large images.
  • Not ideal for archival purposes since some software ecosystems still favor traditional formats.
Max size note While WebP reduces average image sizes significantly, excessively large images can still lead to high memory usage during decoding, especially with animations.
