[one of WebP2 author here] This 'new' WebP format is not radically different, but just pushes the same use-cases further (The web. Not archival. Not camera capture.), sticking to simplicity and usefulness. 10 years is a long time since WebP-v1, and techno has evolved since. We can go much lower in bitrate for still-good-enough quality, and that's what we're interested in exploring. AVIF was designed starting from a video codec, similar to WebP-v1 in the early stages, and this has some drawbacks (that later we needed to correct in WebP, that was confusing). WebP2 is aiming at images-on-the-web right away, and not as an afterthought. More details about the last 10 years of WebP and some WebP2 features: http://shorturl.at/BEMV8 http://shorturl.at/BEMV8
