is Google Wants to Kill the JPEG?: with Meet WebP
Images on the web in this format � which CNET reports will be officially announced later today � will have smaller file sizes, load faster and relieve a lot of overclocked networks. They won�t necessarily look better � WebP images are as �glossy� as JPEGs � but the files might be around 40% smaller than JPEG files.
And since Google estimates 65% of the bytes on the web are images, that represents a quarter of the total amount of data we access and transmit online. Who wouldn�t change formats for a web that could be 26% faster?
The sticking point is JPEG�s popularity. This format dominates the web and related devices, from Flickr to Twitpic to our mobile phones and cameras. But if any company could challenge and change a norm, it�s Google.
Google released its WebM video format at Google I/O, the company�s developer conference. This format was to be supported in HTML5�s
