+WebP is a method of lossy compression that can be used on photographic
+images. The degree of compression is adjustable so a user can choose
+the trade-off between file size and image quality.
+WebP typically achieves an average of 39% more compression than JPEG
+and JPEG 2000, without loss of image quality.
