Why you end up with WebP files
WebP is a format from Google that makes web images smaller than JPG or PNG. Websites and CDNs send it to browsers that support it, which today is nearly all of them. Outside the browser support is less universal: older photo editors, office software, printing kiosks and many upload forms still expect JPG or PNG.
WebP to JPG or WebP to PNG?
- JPG for photos: compact and accepted everywhere.
- PNG for logos, icons and images with transparency: choose PNG under Output format.
Animated WebP files are converted to a still image of the first frame. For logos and images with transparency, use WebP to PNG.
