Tips
- WebP at quality 80 is typically 25-35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality.
- Batch convert your entire image library to WebP for significant bandwidth savings across your site.
- Serve WebP with a JPG fallback using the HTML <picture> element for maximum browser compatibility.
- WebP supports transparency, which JPEG does not. Useful if you later need to add alpha channel to an image.
- Google PageSpeed Insights specifically recommends serving images in WebP format.
