WebP is a new image format that provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. WebP lossless images are 26%25 smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34%25 smaller in size compared to JPEG images at equivalent SSIM index. WebP supports lossless transparency (also known as alpha channel) with just 22%25 additional bytes. Transparency is also supported with lossy compression and typically provides 3x smaller file sizes compared to PNG when lossy compression is acceptable for the red/green/blue color channels.

Webmasters and web developers can use the WebP image format to create smaller and richer images that can help make the web faster.
