| Description | WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. It supports 24-bit color with transparency (alpha channel), enabling high-quality images at smaller file sizes than PNG or JPEG. The format uses the VP8 codec for lossy compression and VP8L for lossless compression. | ICO is an image file format primarily used to store icons on Microsoft Windows. It contains one or more small images of varying sizes and color depths within a single file to support different display contexts. ICO supports both uncompressed and PNG-compressed images with alpha transparency for smooth edges and complex shapes. This multi-image structure allows automatic selection of the best-sized icon according to display needs. |
