FAQ

Does WebP support transparency?

Yes. WebP supports alpha channel transparency (like PNG) while also being significantly smaller in file size.

Is WebP supported in all browsers?

WebP is supported in all major modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, and Edge.

When should I use WebP over JPG?

Use WebP for all web images where browser compatibility allows. The smaller file sizes improve page load speed and Core Web Vitals scores.

Should I use WebP for all images on my website?

WebP is an excellent default for photos and images on modern websites, offering 25–35% smaller files than JPEG at equivalent quality. All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, Edge) support WebP. For maximum compatibility with older browsers, use <picture> with a fallback: <picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="image.webp"><img src="image.jpg"></picture>. For icons and logos, SVG is generally preferable as it scales without quality loss.

What is the difference between lossy and lossless WebP?

WebP supports both modes. Lossy WebP uses a similar approach to JPEG but with better compression — ideal for photographs. Quality 75–85% produces excellent visual results at about 25% smaller than equivalent JPEG. Lossless WebP is like a better-compressed PNG — ideal for images with transparency, sharp edges, text, and graphics. Lossless WebP files are typically 26% smaller than equivalent PNG files while preserving every pixel perfectly. Choose based on the image type, not convenience.
