@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
@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
@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

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
@takao @roboneko@bae.st @roboneko@freespeechextremist.com @Zerglingman @lelouchebag Nothing I have opens this. Not even gimp or imagemagic
