Subjectively, I'd say at those settings the WebP versions look slightly worse, though they don't suffer from the blocking artifacts native to JPEG.
For the images I serve on my sites, a few KB here and there aren't going to make a huge difference, and I'd rather avoid the hassle of serving content that isn't universally supported.
- mrob 6y agoIn most cases I prefer the WebP versions, but the JPEG formats handle chroma noticeably better. E.g. look at the purple band on the rightmost helmet in the 500 pixel version of Kodim 5. WebP reduces the saturation by excessive blurring. CJPEG handles this image best IMO.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoTake a look at the Kodim 3 example image, either the '500px' version or the '1500px' (but not the '1500px' version). Zoom in (400%) on the cap of the yellow hat. The lines of the cap are muddied under all lossy compressed formats, but surprisingly, plain old cjpeg does so less than the others. Generally though I find the new formats look better than JPEG.
