WebP 24 Mar 2013

So there’s this new image format, WebP, from Google.

  • lossless images are 26% smaller than PNGs
  • lossy images at 25-34% smaller compared to JPEGs
  • bascially, smaller and richer images that can help make the web faster

Thought I might just give it a try and check it out. However, it is only natively supported in Google Chrome.
