    • 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

      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.
