WebP and JPEG are both popular image formats, but they serve different purposes.
WebP advantages:
- 25-35% smaller file sizes than JPEG
- Supports both lossy and lossless compression
- Supports transparency
- Better compression algorithms
WebP provides superior compression
JPEG advantages:
- Universal browser support
- Faster encoding/decoding

JPEG remains the standard for photos
Recommendations:
- Use WebP for modern web applications
