What is a WebP file?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and at a comparable quality level it produces noticeably smaller files than JPG or PNG. That efficiency makes it a strong choice for improving web page performance.
How this sample WebP file was made
The image is generated with PHP's GD library as a labelled gradient and exported at WebP quality 80. At 800x600 the file is only a few kilobytes, much smaller than the equivalent JPG of the same image, which shows the format's compression advantage.
Technical details
WebP combines efficient lossy compression with optional lossless mode and an alpha channel. It is supported by every current browser, so for web delivery it is usually preferable to JPG and PNG, with an older format kept only as a fallback.
