WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google intended as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression,[8] as well as animation and alpha transparency.
Google announced the WebP format in September 2010, and released the first stable version of its supporting library in April 2018.
