  • Browser Support: Excellent. Supported by Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari (iOS 14+).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does WebP support transparency?
Yes! WebP is unique because it supports transparency (Alpha Channel) even with Lossy compression. This allows you to have small files with transparent backgrounds, which was previously only possible with heavy PNGs.
Should I convert all my images to WebP?
For the web, yes. It is significantly faster for your users. However, keep your original master files in PNG or TIFF, as converting to WebP is usually a one-way street for publication.

How to create and edit WebP?

Older software might not open WebP. Here are the modern tools you need.

  • Squoosh.app: The best tool by Google. Drag and drop any image to see a realtime “Before/After” slider and optimize file size.
  • Photoshop (Plugin): Recent versions open it natively. Older versions need the “WebShop” plugin.
  • IrfanView: The fastest viewer on Windows. Use it to batch convert hundreds of WebP files back to JPG if needed.

Developer’s Corner: Batch Conversion

To optimize your website speed, you should convert all user uploads to WebP. Here is how to do it in Python using Pillow.

# Python: Convert any image to WebP
from PIL import Image# Open JPG or PNG
image = Image.open(“input.png”)

# Save as WebP (80% Quality is the sweet spot)
image.save(“output.webp”, “WEBP”, quality=80)
