webp is a fine format, blame the websites that disallow webp upload, but then proceed to convert the image to webp anyway

wdym "terrible quality loss"; for one their lossless beats PNG

Webp is good and this meme is shit and played out

JPG-XL crying in the corner.

> complains about lossy format
> meme uses lossless image

Am disappoint

Quality loss? Webp supports lossless.

I really don't get the WebP hate, it's a good format. It's better than PNG and JPG.

The posting of webps will continue until support improves.

Webp supports lossless compression. It's even better than .PNG in that regard.

I also have rarely found it to not work. Like the only things I can think of off the top of my head is that the basic Microsoft image viewer that comes standard on Windows won't open them and also how some websites will force an animated .gif to be saved as a webp, making it a static image. Even though I am pretty sure webp also supports animation.

What - doesn’t - support webp at this point? P much all maintained open source software has for years upon years, os x has for years, Android and iOS have for ages as well, even windows added support a year ago or so supposedly.

Like are these memes made by confused time travelers?

And it's more of a video format than an image format, lots of juicy attack surface

WebP has all the functionality of jpg, png, and gif while still being a smaller filesize. It has baseline support across browsers and devices. I'm no Google simp and work to de-google my family and workplace but this is a hill I will die on. Webp currently the best image file format.

For me it's HEIF. I love it because it's smaller and higher quality than JPEG, but literally nothing supports this format. It's annoying that I have to convert to JPEG or PNG to do anything with my images. Luckily HEVC seems to get more support on the video end of things.

Webp has both a lossy and lossless mode so the first part of this meme is lost on me

I hate that Messenger doesn't support webp. Makes sharing from Lemmy quite annoying. Signal takes webp though, no prob.

The first part is wrong. And the second part is mostly wrong. Stop whining

Pro tip: If discord is complaing your screenshots are too large convert them to avif or webp. Now you don't need nitro

This meme is out of date.

I'm noticing that a lot of my memes are auto saved as webps, what can I convert these into so as to be most compatible and least likely to offend those that care about file formats?

Never understood why jepgXL didn’t win out

Yes, I would like to waste 500 KB over the wire for an image of indistinguishable quality

Not my fault that peoples pirated copy of Photoshop CS5 can't open it.

it supports transparency and produces small file sizes compared to PNG while looking pretty similarly. fuck Microsoft in particular for not supporting it.
