What is better than WebP?

With more significant parallelizing potential with AVIF for encoding and decode speeds than WEBP, you should find AVIF images decode as fast as WEBP. HDR images will be impressive on great displays, and animated AVIF files should be much less taxing on your broadband’s bandwidth and data caps.

Is WebP supported by all browsers?

According to caniuse, currently 79.2% of browsers support the WebP image format. That would include Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Safari will support WebP in version 14, which is expected to be released in September 2020.

Is WebP or PNG better?

WebP offers 26% smaller file sizes than PNG, while still providing transparency and the same quality. WebP loads faster (due to file size) than PNG images.

Is WebP lossless?

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs.

Is WebP really better than JPEG?

Conclusion. The study evaluated WebP compression in comparison to JPEG. We observed that the average WebP file size is 25%-34% smaller compared to JPEG file size at equivalent SSIM index. The SSIM vs bpp plots showed that WebP consistently required less bits per pixel than JPEG for the same SSIM index.

Does WebP load faster?

Fortunately, there is still some good news left: the WebP file format can compress your images to a size even smaller than a JPG file, with almost no reduction in quality, making your website load more than twice as fast.
