Adopting WebP at this time is a sure bet. It’s become a popular topic lately as it pulled ahead in the next-gen image format wars: as of this writing, it’s supported on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera, and most recently Safari. 90% of modern web browsers support this Google-developed open-source format. The most widely used next-generation image format is WebP. It enables animation, alpha transparency, and both lossy and lossless compression. Google created the WebP image file format to take the place of the JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats.
