What is a .webp file?
image/webp
WebP is a modern raster format from Google offering both lossy (VP8-based) and lossless compression, with alpha transparency and animation support. It typically produces smaller files than JPEG or PNG at comparable quality. It is widely supported by current browsers.
How to use a .webp file
Use an example WebP to test decoder support, fallback logic for older clients, and converters that translate between WebP and JPEG, PNG, or GIF while preserving alpha and animation.
