The long awaited new version of RIOT has arrived with very exciting features.
WebP is a new image format developed by Google that promises better compression ratio for the same perceived picture quality. WebP was designed to replace all three popular formats (JPEG. PNG, GIF) and has a very wide browser support.
The WebP support in RIOT covers both and read/write and also the automatic modes and batch.
You can now adjust the WebP settings and see instant previews like for the other formats:
– lossy compression
