Squoosh is a fantastic web based tool (PWA) that is fantastic at compressing single images but is unable to work with batches of files. This service will allow up to right click on images and convert them to webp files that will be created right next to their original untouched source files. For cases when lossy RGB compression is acceptable, lossy WebP also supports transparency, typically providing 3× smaller file sizes compared to PNG.Ĭonsidering that you’ll likely be using the webp format significantly more in the near future, let’s make things super easy on ourselves and make batch conversion of jpg and png images as simple as possible by creating a service in Automator for MacOS' Finder. Lossless WebP supports transparency (also known as alpha channel) at a cost of just 22% additional bytes. WebP lossy images are 25–34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs.

Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster. WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web.

With webp compatibility finally coming to Safari 14, webp is finally going to start really taking off.
