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.
