The WEBP format

A format designed for the web: at the same quality it’s on average 25-35% lighter than JPG and PNG, and it also supports transparency and animation. Every modern browser shows it, but some graphics programs and online services still don’t accept it.

Questions about the WEBP format

How do I open a WEBP file?

Usually a double click is enough: operating systems and the most common programs recognise it. If the program or website you use won’t accept it, you can convert it here to a more common format, for example JPG.

What extension do WEBP files have?

.webp. The MIME type is image/webp.

Does converting a WEBP lose quality?

It depends on the target format: to lossless formats (PNG, FLAC, WAV) nothing is lost; to compressed formats (JPG, MP3, MP4) you can choose the quality to balance size and result.
