What is libwebp?
Libwebp is an open source software library developed by Google to encode and decode images in the WebP format.
WebP, also created by Google, is an image format that offers high quality with smaller file sizes than traditional formats such as JPEG and PNG.
This means that WebP images load faster, which can improve performance and user experience on websites and applications.
libwebp provides an easy way to integrate WebP functionality into your own programs.
Some of libwebp’s features include:
- WebP image encoding and decoding.
- Support for lossy and lossless images.
- Support for transparency.
- Precise control over image quality.
- Easy-to-use APIs.
