What's the difference between WEBP and JPG?

WEBP is a modern image format developed by Google that offers superior compression compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG [citation:1][citation:8]. WEBP images are typically 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images while maintaining similar quality [citation:1]. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency, and animation [citation:8]. JPG (or JPEG) uses lossy compression to reduce file size and is widely supported across all devices, platforms, and applications [citation:4]. While WEBP offers better performance for web use, JPG remains the standard format for compatibility. Converting WEBP to JPG ensures your images can be opened, edited, and shared universally without issues [citation:4].
