WebP

Category: 360, 3D and output formats

WebP is an image format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression as well as transparency. It typically produces smaller files than JPEG at comparable visual quality and is supported by all modern browsers.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot recommends WebP over JPG for export because it needs fewer bits per pixel for the same SSIM quality index, and PhotoRobot hosting serves JPEG, PNG and WebP with real-time scaling.

  • JPEG: The most common lossy image format for photographs; small files, no transparency.
  • PNG: A lossless image format that supports transparency; larger files than JPEG.
  • Image compression: Reducing the file size of an image, either without loss of data (lossless) or by discarding detail (lossy).
  • Image hosting: Storing images on a server and delivering them to websites on request.
