Why Use WEBP Format?

WEBP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression compared to JPG and PNG. According to Google's research, WEBP lossy images are 25–34% smaller than comparable JPEGs, and lossless WEBP images are 26% smaller than PNGs — all at the same visual quality.

WEBP Advantages

  • 25–35% smaller files than equivalent JPG
  • Supports both lossy and lossless compression
  • Supports transparency (like PNG)
  • Supported by all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14+)
  • Improves Google PageSpeed Insights scores
  • Reduces server bandwidth costs

WEBP Browser Support (2024)

WEBP is supported by 95%+ of all web users including all versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 14+. For the remaining 5%, serve JPG as a fallback using the HTML <picture> element.

WEBP for SEO

Google's PageSpeed Insights specifically recommends WEBP as part of its "Serve images in next-gen formats" advice. Converting to WEBP is one of the easiest ways to improve your Core Web Vitals LCP score.
