About the formats
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.
GIF image
GIF is a classic format limited to 256 colours but able to hold short looping animations. It remains the lingua franca of reaction clips and simple web animations.
Strengths
- Universally supported animation
- Tiny files for simple graphics
- Supports basic transparency
Limitations
- Only 256 colours — poor for photos
- Large files for longer animations
- No partial transparency or sound
Best for: Short looping animations, memes and simple flat graphics shared across the web.
