> Use WebP! For everything!

Jyrki Alakuijala, one of the creators of WebP, on WebP vs JPEG [1]:

>> For high quality photography, I (and butteraugli) believe that JPEG is actually better than WebP.

>> Below JPEG quality 77 WebP lossy wins, above JPEG quality 77 JPEG wins (for photography).

>> This was based on the maximum compression artefact in an image -- averaging from 1000 images.

Better meaning here [2]:

>> Faster decode (up to around 6x faster) and less bytes needed at high quality (in comparison to butteraugli scores).
