| Description | WebP is a new lossy image file format, whose mission is to overthrow JPEG, which has long been the ruler of the web image world. Although it is not expected to outdo JEG in image quality right away, it seems to be outdoing it in user-friendliness. With Webp, you get a same-quality image almost 50% smaller than its JPEG counterpart. Webp uses VP8 – an open-source codec, and a RIFF-based container, which creates a good potential for further development. The format was created by Google. |

| Description | Designed by CompuServe even before JPG GIF file format displays indexed-color graphics. It is a simple illustration with maximum 256 colors. That is why it is great for the web, logos and icons also are saved in GIF format. There is one more reason for that: GIF preserves transparence. You can put an icon or a logo above another image, and the borders of the first one won’t be seen. Above all GIF supports animation, which is a widely spread technique among the designers. |
