    1 Follow up to #35725 where we introduced support for WebP images. Please review this ticket first as many of the changes proposed here have already been discussed extensively there!

    3 By switching to WebP, users won't need to do anything and will benefit from faster sites because images will be 25-40% smaller, all with no loss of quality. Hosts will benefit from reduced memory usage for compression, and reduced storage and bandwidth requirements for images.
     3This enables testing WebP (or other image formats) as the default output format.

    59By using WebP as the default image format:
     
    711* Uploaded images are converted to smaller sub-sizes - these images will now use the WebP format if the server supports it.
    812  * Note both GD and Imagick support WebP lossy and lossless, however only Imagick supports animated images.
    9 * A filter controls the type re-mapping and can be used to opt out of the feature entirely, or on a per image or image type basis (eg only convert jpegs).
