        • It's designed to be more memory-efficient but isn't

        • By converting jpgs to webps instead of leaving them alone, you add unnecessary cycles and have to store two instead of one

          oh I thought it was just a container that could contain jpg or png tbh. but I guess it has its own algos for lossy and lossless

          idk take it up with pictrs

          Whenever I convert a png to a lossless webp the file size seems to get cut in half.

          We consider this study to be inconclusive when it comes to the question of whether WebP and/or JPEG XR outperform JPEG by any significant margin.
