WebP is an open source image format created by Google based on the VP8 video codec. It shows a lot of promise, allowing both lossless and lossy compression of images and allows motion (encompassing what PNG, JPG and GIF/APNG do respectively). I have at the moment changed the images in the gallery on the Main Page to test Wikipedia and browser handling of the new format and if all is well, may convert the rest of the images on the site to WebP. | WebP is an open source image format created by Google based on the VP8 video codec. It shows a lot of promise, allowing both lossless and lossy compression of images and allows motion (encompassing what PNG, JPG and GIF/APNG do respectively in one format) while spacing space over the older formats. I have at the moment changed the images in the gallery on the Main Page to test Wikipedia and browser handling of the new format and if all is well, may convert the rest of the images on the site to WebP. Modern browsers all support WebP which is promising news. | ||
