Frequently Asked Questions
What browsers support WebP format?⌄
All modern browsers support WebP: Chrome (since version 32), Firefox (since version 65), Safari (since version 14 on macOS Big Sur), and Edge (since version 18). This covers over 97% of web users. If you need to support very old browsers, serve JPG as a fallback using the <picture> element.
How much smaller is WebP compared to JPG?⌄
WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than JPG files at equivalent visual quality. For example, a 1 MB JPG might convert to a 650-750 KB WebP with no perceptible quality difference. The exact savings depend on the image content and quality setting.
Does WebP support transparency like PNG?⌄
Yes, WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression, and it supports alpha channel transparency. This means WebP can replace both JPG (for photos) and PNG (for images with transparency) while producing smaller files in both cases.
Can I use WebP images on my website?⌄
Yes. WebP is widely supported and recommended for web use. In HTML, use it with the <picture> element to provide a JPG fallback: <picture><source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp"><img src="image.jpg" alt="..."></picture>. Most CMS platforms and CDN services also support automatic WebP conversion.
