JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) has long been a standard for web images due to its
high compatibility across devices and platforms and generally
fast loading times for photographic content, supporting
millions of colors. However, despite these strengths,
JPG relies on older
lossy compression which can sometimes degrade image quality, particularly with detailed or complex visuals. A significant limitation is its
lack of transparency support, making it unsuitable for modern design elements like logos or overlays that require transparent backgrounds. Furthermore, JPG
does not support animation or layers.
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google specifically to offer superior performance on the web. It addresses JPG's limitations while delivering significantly smaller file sizes with equal or even better visual quality. By converting your
JPG images to WebP, you can:
- * Reduce image file size by up to 30–50%.
- * Speed up your website’s loading times.
- * Improve SEO and Core Web Vitals scores.
- * Maintain excellent image quality or achieve better quality at smaller sizes.
