🧠 How WebP works

WebP is an image format from Google. It uses the same ideas as VP8 (video codec): split the image into blocks, predict each block from its neighbors, then compress the difference. Supports both lossy (like JPEG) and lossless, plus transparency and animation. Works about a third more efficiently than JPEG and PNG. Here's how it works:

🖼 RGBA original image 🧩 Blocks 4×4 image is split into macroblocks 🔮 Prediction guess the block from neighbors the key to compression 📉 Entropy arithmetic coding 💾 RIFF .webp ready file
