About the JPG and WEBP formats

JPG

JPG (or JPEG) is the universal photo format. It uses lossy compression tuned for natural images, giving you small files that look great on screens, social media, and prints. JPG has no transparency layer and progressively loses quality on each re-save, so keep an original archive if you plan to edit further.

WEBP

WEBP is Google’s modern image format that supports both lossy and lossless compression plus animation and transparency. At identical visual quality WEBP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG, which is why every major CDN now serves WEBP. Older email clients and a few legacy apps still cannot open it.
