WebP should implement alpha transparency. That was in their promise but they never did it. That'd make it a jpeg-killer for me. A lossy image format that supports alpha transparency would be so great.
- dchest 15y agoAlpha support is in the repo, marked as experimental: http://review.webmproject.org/gitweb?p=libwebp.git http://review.webmproject.org/gitweb?p=libwebp.git.
- wladimir 15y agoThanks! I'll give it a try. IMO the WebP project should focus more on this. It's a big thing, also on the web, to have a compact image format that supports partial transparency. It blows away "simply using less bandwidth for photos" as an advantage, as it makes entirely new things possible.
