ny PNG elitist brain interprets this as PNG being so good than JpeG had to be upgraded and a new format (WebP)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

WebP solves use cases for both PNG and JPEG as the same format can be lossless or lossy, while getting the benefits of a much more powerful codec.

PNG is good for certain types of graphics. Take a full size 48MP picture and encode it in PNG and it's going to be massive compared to JPEG.

PNG is a pretty simple and effective format but it's not especially good nowadays, there's a reason WebP is popular. Much smaller files for the same quality. Same for JPEG XL.
