I'm just curious if you have any public plans to support Google's webp image format.

 

Thanks!

  Cloudinary now supports WebP format images. You can create these files with Cloudinary's same simple APIs and dynamic URLs. Here are some examples:
  
  You can convert any image to WebP by setting the file extension to  .webp  or by providing  :format => :webp  in client libraries.

  Here's a sample image:
  
  The JPG version is 118KB

  The WebP version is just a third (42.5KB) the size of the jpg above (using our default webp quality of 90)::
  
  http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/sample.webp

  A WebP version with quality of 30 is just 24.3KB (20.5%).

  For creating a lossless Webp image (a different format), set quality to 100. Notice that this is not recommend for photos, but as an alternative for PNG where applicable - icons, logos, etc. (this is a lossless format so quite large otherwise):

  Note that WebP works only in some browsers (mainly Chrome).

  Hi, Can anyone please confirm that adding fl_progressive flag for the .webp images work? Finding it hard to make out the progressive nature for testing.
