What is WEBP?
WEBP is a modern image format that is often used when you need smaller files with strong web compatibility.
WEBP in simple terms
WEBP is a format designed for the web. People often choose it when they want lighter images than older formats in common browser environments.
For short animated visual content, converting from video to WEBP can also be a practical alternative to heavier GIF-style sharing in some workflows.
Why not just use GIF?
GIF is easy to recognize, but it is not always the lightest option for short motion content. In places where file size matters, WEBP can be a more efficient packaging choice.
