13 WebP is an image format that does both lossy and lossless compression of
14 digital photographic images. WebP consists of a codec based on VP8, that Google
15 open-sourced in May 2010 and a container based on RIFF. Webmasters, web
16 developers and browser developers can use WebP to compress, archive and
17 distribute digital images more efficiently.
