In reply to Thomas Higginbotham.

I switched from gif to png years upon years ago and I have been testing webp for png and it is always smaller file sizes. So I converted all png to webp on my sites.

However……..when I tried JPG to WEBP………the WEBP were 2-5 times larger in file size.

I used GIMP (whatever latest version is) to do the PNG2WEBP and JPG2WEBP converting.

Apparently webp can do animated files, like animated PNG but I don’t have any animated files to test it out, nor do I use animated PNG/GIF.
