You may be heard about the new internet format for images, the WebP (but pronounced as 'weppy'). It is an image format developed by Google, based on technology acquired with the purchase of On2 Technologies, that employs both lossy and lossless compression. The new WebP image format provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. The main attraction of this new image format is, WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs and WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller in size compared to JPEG images at equivalent SSIM index.

In addition to this, WebP supports lossless transparency (also known as alpha channel) with just 22% additional bytes. Transparency is also supported with lossy compression and typically provides 3x smaller file sizes compared to PNG when lossy compression is acceptable for the red/green/blue color channels.
