Description JPEG is a widely-used raster image format optimized for compressing photographs and realistic images. It uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file size while retaining acceptable visual quality, making it ideal for web use and digital photography. By discarding non-essential image data, JPEG achieves small files that load quickly, but repeated saving can gradually reduce quality. 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
  • Storing and sharing photographs on the web
  • Digital camera default photo format
  • Email attachments and social media images
  • Web design where fast loading times are important
  • 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
  • Compressing high-resolution camera images for quick sharing
  • Hosting large galleries on websites without excessive bandwidth costs
  • Sending product photos in e-commerce listings
  • Publishing online articles with multiple photographic images
  • 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 modern web browsers
  • Image editing software such as Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo
  • Operating system viewers on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
  • 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

Compression method Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based lossy compression Lossy (predictive coding, similar to VP8) and Lossless (local palette, entropy coding)
Interlacing Progressive JPEG option allows gradual loading Not supported; entire image is decoded progressively in chunks
Advantages
  • Very high compression ratios possible with acceptable visual quality for photos.
  • Extremely widespread support across all devices, browsers, and software.
  • Efficient for continuous-tone images like photographs and realistic artwork.
  • Supports embedding metadata such as camera settings and geolocation.
  • 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
  • Lossy compression means some image detail is permanently discarded.
  • Repeated re-saving can lead to cumulative quality loss (generation loss).
  • Not suitable for images with sharp edges, text, or flat color areas due to compression artifacts.
  • No support for transparency or alpha channels.
  • 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 File size depends on resolution and compression quality settings; very high-resolution JPEGs may be slow to decode on older devices. While WebP reduces average image sizes significantly, excessively large images can still lead to high memory usage during decoding, especially with animations.
