WebP is in some ways superior, in particular because it has a lossless option like PNG. [Edit: NOPE, I was mistaken.] I think it's kind of a shame that it hasn't caught on all that well. Maybe it's a fantasy, but I'd sure like to consolidate all web images into a single widely-supported and open source format. Ah, to dream...
- gpvos 12y agoSixth bullet: Lossless compression is supported.
- ChrisGranger 12y agoMissed it, my bad!
- gpvos 12y agoI didn't check the code though. I wonder if it's any good. JPEG also has a lossless mode, but no-one uses or even implements it.
- sylvinus 12y agoFrom what the website says, BGP does support lossless compression.
- beefman 12y agoI think it's nice to have separate formats for lossy and lossless compression. Makes it easy for users to tell what's going on.
