@takao But toka it's got some loli ass, it's gotta be good
@lelouchebag what you posted is Joint Photographic Experts Group File Interchange Format image though

@Zerglingman @lelouchebag @takao Webp is good. PNG is 90s tech and usually compresses worse than even generic modern compression methods on raw image data

Your software is the problem if it doesn't support it. The C lib is comfy, easy, complete, well documented, and cross platform, under a BSD license, there's no excuse to not implement it in everything. 99% of non-shitty software already supports it

>it's by jewgle though
It's an open format and you use WEBMs/MKVs already which use the same VP8/VP9 tech by jewgle. This genuinely isn't an excuse

@applejack @Zerglingman @lelouchebag @takao

webp isn't good, webp is a subpar pile of shit. Just use jpg or png if you need lossless.

@roboneko @Zerglingman @lelouchebag @takao PNGs are from 1996. They were literally made to be a competitor to GIFs, that's the level they're at

@applejack @roboneko @Zerglingman @lelouchebag @takao And? Something being newer doesn't make it worthwhile. webp maxes out at a resolution of 16383 x 16383. It is incapable of encoding the attached image. That shiny new format is less capable than something that was designed to compete with GIF. That's the level webp is at.

@roboneko@bae.st @roboneko@freespeechextremist.com @Zerglingman @lelouchebag @takao Having 90s compression tech does make PNGs worse. Going by insane niches like 16385x16385 images doesn't make PNGs better

I'm not saying webp is the perfect thing for every usecase, but general stuff, like anime girl pics, it's way better

I made an actual showcase for you
anonfiles.com/V2gayaO3xa/webp-

for pf in r/* ; set p (basename $pf) ; convert $pf $p.png && optipng $p.png ; end

for pf in r/* ; set p (basename $pf) ; convert -define webp:lossless=true $pf $p.webp ; end

for pf in r/* ; set p (basename $pf) ; convert $pf farbfeld:- | bzip2 > $p.farbfeld.bz2 ; end
