WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression for web images. Converting your images to WebP can significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining high visual quality, leading to faster website loading times and improved user experience.
WebP supports both lossy compression (like JPG) and lossless compression (like PNG), as well as transparency and animation. This versatility makes it an excellent replacement for both JPG and PNG formats on the web.
