Yeah, man, gotta use mozjpeg.
in my honest opinion, it’s a real shame that webp isn’t widely supported. it’s actually really great: it has awesome lossless compression, it’s so much smaller than a png while not losing any quality, it supports animation and loops, etc. it’s like jpg, png, and gif rolled into one format.

and therein lies the problem.
one tool should do one thing, and do it well.
The giant jpeg square artefact on the side of Homer’s head in the first frame undermines the message somewhat.
I’m not sure that’s a JPEG artifact. It looks more like a video compression artifact (since the image is probably taken from a video).
Wait till this guy hears what videos are made of
lol there’s a specific AVI format based on JPEG, but other file formats use different algorithms
Pretty much all compression algorithms work similar to JPEG. The newer formats only add even more crazy maths to the mix, but the base is pretty much the same.
Just don’t let Google kill JPEG XL.

That’s basically how Lemmy clients work. No, there are 14 Lemmy clients! Ridiculous, we need one universal Lemmy client… there are 15 Lemmy clients.

Beautiful Lemmy client

The real difference is between gif and animated webp… Even fewer places accept animated webp than normal webp and those that do often don’t even show it right (looking at you slack emojis) which is a travesty as the file size difference is huge
Just change the file extension to *.png. Works every time.

Wait till you find out what’s inside when you change Office files from .***x to .zip
Why does this even work though? WEBP and PNG are very different file formats yet for some reason this has always worked for me as well. Is windows automatically converting the files? I haven’t checked if changing the file extension changes the file size.
WebP is an extended container around the RIFF file format, and contains the RIFF header info. So any container that is built off RIFF, or supports RIFF, can at least interpret the container data that is RIFF compatible and will lose anything that has been extended upon.
Unironically it will work as @Thorry84@feddit.nl and a bunch just like him has put in the work to Just WorkTM
for my use cases of memes or a PowerPoint type thing once in a while for school. Literally any image format works for me. I don’t care about quality (as long as it’s not REALLY bad) and just want to get the image from Google to the PowerPoint, and somehow GOOGLES own image format fails to work for GOOGLES PowerPoint product.
I don’t understand how you can not support your own format 10 years after it came out.pro tip by the way, you can open it in Microsoft paint then “save as -> .PNG” to get Google slides/whatever to accept it.
(before someone recommends alternatives, im talking about use on a locked down school computer. I can’t use alternative software that’s better because they block images in WIKIPEDIA, no shot for using an actual foss software lmao)
Plus, it makes a bunch of users resort to adding extensions to their browser such as
“Save webP as PNG or JPEG 1.5.4”
which is fine but absolutely not as secure as without extensions.
use on a locked down school computer.
Shift + Win + S
I’ll bet they didn’t disable that in Group Policy. Lasso that sumbitch right off your screen and then just paste it into whatever.
Paint trick would leave the option for higher quality, a screen grab leaves you at screen grab resolution.
True, but I’ll wager most of the things people are filching for these purposes get displayed on the screen at 100% scale anyway. Unless you’re sniping a picture for large format print, in which case I figure you’d probably be under less restrictive conditions… Hopefully.
You don’t even have to open it in Microsoft paint, you can just save it as a new format from the standard image viewer software.
Ask your boss if you can install GIMP
What is being implied here? That Website A encourages you to download an image from them in WEBP format, but you cannot then upload that image to Websites B through Z because those sites do not support WEBP?
Here’s the original clip from The Simpsons episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4XZxHXSHko
Yes
Not just websites, but software as well. Like image editing software. Which is quite bad.
Real men use .ico
“It works just like regular image formats, but it’s fun.”
I love webp though
That is because you are ignorant.
wrong
The funniest thing is that even some of Google’s own products don’t accept Webp, like Google Voice.
Shhhh just be happy Google Voice still exists, and isn’t in the graveyard. Personally I’d take RCS over webp in Google Voice.
I feel with you. The product idea is awesome, the implementation is so-so, and progress is backwards. It’s heart-breaking, really, and so sad nobody has a real alternative.
Lemmy uses webp for profile pics.
Not the fault of the format
No, it is googol’s fault. Fuck googol.
