I still have some commissions uploaded as PNG in my online galleries because, well, "lossless is good" and all.
But I think I'll finally replace them with 90 - 95% JPGs because I can REALLY not see any difference with them and I assume the people browsing the gallery will appreciate having 800KB traffic/downloads instead of 9MB per image. 😅
Even 100% JPGs of them barely have more than 1MB.
Will also make just browsing it more pleasant with slow connections.
@ubo I personally think we should be open towards "new" formats like that. People often hate on WebP and WebM because I guess they still think in the days where software support was horrible.
So, I'm personally open for it.
In my specific image case WebP is still about 1MB bigger without any perceivable, visual improvement and, well, at least one site doesn't support it, so, JPG it is.
But I'm generally not opposed to adopting new stuff, as long as it's a free and open standard. 🙂
