Things I seek in an image format:
(1) compatibility
(2) features
WebP still seems far behind on (1) to me so I don't care about the rest. I hope it gets there, though, because folks like this seem pretty enthusiastic about (2).
- mistrial9 2y agoagree - webp has a lib on Linux but somehow, standard image viewers just do not read it, so -> "FAIL"
- sgbeal 2y ago> webp has a lib on Linux but somehow, standard image viewers just do not read it That may apply to old "LTS" Linuxes, but not any relatively recent one. Xviewer and gimp immediately come to mind as supporting it and i haven't had a graphics viewer on Linux _not_ be able to view webp in at least 3 or 4 years.
- jfoster 2y agoThe compatibility gap on WebP is already quite small. Every significant web browser now supports it. Almost all image tools & viewers do as well. Lossy WebP comes out a lot smaller than JPEG. It's definitely worth taking the saving.
