Fun Fact
WebP images can often be up to 30% smaller than JPEG and PNG files while keeping similar or better visual quality. That is why major platforms like Google, YouTube, and modern websites rely heavily on WebP for performance optimization.
Historical Context
The BMP format was introduced by Microsoft in the early days of Windows as a simple way to store bitmap graphics. While reliable, BMP files are typically uncompressed and very large. WebP, introduced by Google in 2010, was designed as a next-generation image format to deliver smaller file sizes and better compression. Converting BMP to WebP bridges the gap between legacy image technology and modern web performance needs.
