About the formats
Bitmap image
BMP is an uncompressed raster format from the Windows world. It stores raw pixels with no quality loss, producing large but perfectly exact files.
Strengths
- Completely lossless, raw pixels
- Simple, widely readable on Windows
- No compression artefacts
Limitations
- Very large file sizes
- No transparency or animation
- Rarely used on the modern web
Best for: Legacy Windows workflows and cases where an uncompressed, exact bitmap is required.
WebP image
WebP is a modern Google format that delivers both lossy and lossless compression with transparency and animation. It typically produces noticeably smaller files than JPG or PNG at the same quality.
Strengths
- Smaller than JPG and PNG at similar quality
- Supports transparency and animation
- Great for fast-loading web pages
Limitations
- Not supported by some older software
- Less universal than JPG for sharing
- Limited print workflow support
Best for: Web images where page speed matters — photos, graphics and simple animations alike.
