'''WebP''' is a [[raster graphics]] [[image file format|file format]] developed by [[Google]] intended as a replacement for [[JPEG]], [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]], and [[GIF]] file formats. It supports both [[lossy compression|lossy]] and [[Lossless compression|lossless]] compression,<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/10/meet-webp-googles-new-image-format/ |title=Meet WebP, Google's New Image Format |last=Calore |first=Michael |date=1 October 2010 |magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] |access-date=5 October 2010}}</ref> as well as [[Computer animation|animation]] and [[Alpha compositing|alpha transparency]].
 
Google announced the WebP format in September 2010, and released the first stable version of its supporting [[Library (computing)|library]] in April 2018.

WebP was first announced by Google on 30 September in 2010 as a new [[open format]] for lossy compressed true-color graphics on the web, producing files that were smaller than [[JPEG]] files for comparable image quality.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://code.google.com/intl/no/speed/webp/docs/c_study.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101004134848/http://code.google.com/intl/no/speed/webp/docs/c_study.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 October 2010 |title=Comparative Study of WebP, JPEG and JPEG 2000 |work=Google Code |access-date=1 October 2010 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> It was based on technology which Google had acquired with the purchase of [[On2 Technologies]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shankland |first=Stephen |date=30 September 2010 |title=Google Offers JPEG Alternative for Faster Web - With WebP, Google hopes to drastically cut data-transfer barriers to Web browsing.

On 18 November 2011, Google announced a new [[lossless compression]] mode, and support for [[Transparency (graphic)|transparency]] ([[Alpha compositing|alpha channel]]) in both lossless and lossy modes; support was enabled by default in libwebp 0.2.0 (16 August 2012).<ref name="lossless-announce">{{cite web |url=https://developers.googleblog.com/2012/08/lossless-and-transparency-modes-in-webp.html |title=Lossless and Transparency Modes in WebP |last=Alakuijala |first=Jyrki |date=30 August 2012 |work=Google Developers Blog |access-date=6 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebp/+/v0.2.0 |title=Version 0.2.0 |last=Zern |first=James |date=16 August 2012 |work=[[Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]] |access-date=6 January 2017}}</ref> According to Google's measurements in November 2011, a conversion from [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]] to WebP resulted in a 45% reduction in file size when starting with PNGs found on the web, and a 28% reduction compared to PNGs that are recompressed with [[pngcrush]] and [[PNGOUT]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/11/lossless-and-transparency-encoding-in.html |title=Lossless and Transparency Encoding in WebP |last1=Alakuijala |first1=Jyrki |last2=Arora |first2=Vikas |last3=Joshi |first3=Urvang |date=18 November 2011 |work=Google Code Blog |access-date=18 November 2011}}</ref>

In 2019, the [[Alliance for Open Media]] published the [[AVIF]] standard, intending it to be a successor to WebP.

=== Animation ===
Google has proposed using WebP for animated images as an alternative to the popular [[Graphics Interchange Format|GIF]] format, citing the advantages of 24-bit color with transparency, combining frames with lossy and lossless compression in the same animation, and support for seeking to specific frames.<ref name="webpfaqanim">{{cite web |url=https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/faq#why_should_i_use_animated_webp |title=Frequently Asked Questions |date=2014-02-21 |access-date=2014-02-23}}</ref> Google reports a 64% reduction in file size for images converted from animated GIFs to lossy WebP, however, with a very noticeable visual impact, both at default settings, and optimised settings.

{{Update section|date=December 2023|inaccurate=yes|reason=CVE-2023-4863 has been patched tempestively in libwebp 1.3.2 and should no longer be exploitable}}
 
In September 2023, two critical vulnerabilities<ref>{{Cite web |last=Goodin |first=Dan |date=2023-09-21 |title=Incomplete disclosures by Apple and Google create "huge blindspot" for 0-day hunters |url=https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/09/incomplete-disclosures-by-apple-and-google-create-huge-blindspot-for-0-day-hunters/ |access-date=2023-09-29 |website=[[Ars Technica]] |language=en-us}}</ref> relating to WebP images were discovered by Apple Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) and the Citizen Lab, potentially affecting Google Chrome, Chromium-based browsers and the Google's libwebp project from Google, among any application implementing libwebp. Among these vulnerabilities, CVE-2023-4863 was an actively exploited vulnerability with a high risk rating of CVSS 8.8. This could lead to an out of bounds/overflow condition in applications using the affected libwebp library, upon exploitation of a maliciously crafted .webp lossless file. This could result in a denial of service (DoS), or worse, enabling malicious remote code execution (RCE). The extensive use of libwebp packages across hundreds of applications, including all categories from web browsers to mobile apps, posed a major patching challenge to mitigate the vulnerability due to the demanding testing requirements before release, highlighting the implications of this vulnerability on a wide scale.

* [[AVIF]], an image format based on the [[AV1]] video format<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/|title=AV1 Still Image File Format (AVIF)|website=aomediacodec.github.io|language=en|access-date=2018-10-10}}</ref>
* [[Better Portable Graphics|BPG]], an image format intended to be a more compression-efficient replacement for the JPEG image format, based on the intra-frame encoding of the [[High Efficiency Video Coding]] (HEVC) video compression standard, introduced in 2014.
* [[Free Lossless Image Format|FLIF]], a discontinued lossless image format which claimed to outperform [[PNG]], lossless WebP, lossless [[Better Portable Graphics|BPG]] and lossless [[JPEG2000]] in terms of compression ratio, introduced in 2015. [[Free Lossless Image Format|FLIF]] was superseded by [[JPEG XL]].
* [[High Efficiency Image File Format|HEIF]], another image format based on HEVC[[H.265|HEVC]], now also incorporating [[AVIF]] and [[Versatile Video Coding|VVC]]
* From the Joint Photographic Experts Group:
** [[JPEG-LS#JPEG-LS|JPEG-LS]], an old but efficient lossless format, introduced in 1999.
** [[JPEG 2000]], an improvement intended to replace the older JPEG by the JPEG committee, introduced in 2000.
** [[JPEG XR]], an alternative to [[JPEG 2000]] supporting [[high dynamic range imaging|HDR]] and wide [[gamut]] color spaces, introduced in 2009.
** [[JPEG XL]], particularly optimised for responsive web environments, so that content renders well on a wide range of devices. Moreover, it includes several features that help transition from the legacy JPEG format. [[JPEG XL]] was introduced at the end of 2020.
* [[Multiple-image Network Graphics|MNG]] and [[APNG]], PNG-based animated image formats, supporting lossless 24-bit RGB color and 8-bit alpha channel.
