Question 1

Is WebP supported everywhere?

Accepted Answer

Every current browser displays WebP, and so does the FiveM NUI, which runs on Chromium. Some older tools and email clients do not, so keep your originals.

Question 2

Is transparency kept?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WebP keeps the alpha channel of PNG images.

Question 3

Is the photo metadata kept?

Accepted Answer

No. Drawing the image to a canvas drops EXIF metadata, including the location a photo was taken at.

Question 4

Why is a file larger after conversion?

Accepted Answer

Images that are already heavily compressed, or very small, can come out larger. The tool says so; keep the original in that case.

Question 5

Do I need to convert before uploading to BasiX?

Accepted Answer

No. Any PNG or JPEG on BasiX is also served as WebP by adding ?w= or ?f=webp to its address, and the original stays exactly as uploaded.
