WebP vs JPG

JPG is a lossy format that is best suited for photographs and complex images. It compresses images by discarding some of the data, resulting in a smaller file size but lower image quality. But, JPG images do not support transparency or animation, making them less suitable for graphics that require these features.

WebP format supports both lossy and lossless compression and uses advanced compression algorithms to achieve smaller file sizes than JPG format while maintaining good image quality. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.

Likewise, compared to JPG, which is a lossy format that works best for photographs and complex images, WebP offers several advantages. WebP can achieve similar image quality to JPG but with smaller file sizes, making it a better choice for images that need to load quickly on the web. WebP also supports transparency and animation, which JPG does not.
