But why is it better? My experience is clicking on webp format opens in browser instead of my image viewer

[-] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Webp supports 24 - bit RGB w 8 - bit Alpha channel. It also has better lossless and lossly compression. And it handles transparency and animation better than other formats at a smaller size.

It is smaller, better, and faster.

I wish everyone would get on the same page so it would also be better for the end user.

People just really need to support it.

This right here sir. You missed this part.

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago

I'm a layperson. I don't care about what technical benefits it has on paper when its impractical to use. So I have to agree with OP on this one.

I haven't seen a single browser that didn't support webp

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Lots of image viewers and media programs/apps dont support it currently. Which is a hassle when you've downloaded a webp and cant view or edit it.

[-] art@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Sounds like you need upgrade your image viewer? Everything else is loading it fine.

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

I use FastStone Image Viewer. Maybe there's a plug-in I need to install?

It has more efficient lossy compression then JPEG. It has more efficient lossless compression then PNG. More efficient compression then gif and supports animation like gif. It allows for more colors then any of those 3. You can have a single for extension for photos graphics, and animations and costs less storage and bandwidth saving money and making a better ui.
