Google introduced the WEBP image format back in 2010, but there is no native support across the globe for this format. It is widely known that the operating system doesn’t support this image format. No doubt, it is one of the most popular image formats used mostly on websites. However, it requires a unique compression system to display this image because it is approximately two-thirds the size of the same image rendered in JPEG or PNG image formats.
