Use Filestack’s Image Format Converter to transform JPEG and PNG images to the next generation format WebP or JPEG XR, which are both significantly more lightweight while preserving image quality.
Never worry about images processing slowing your website again
Images are one of the most important parts of the function of your application. Website speed is critical, especially for optimizing the experience for your mobile users.
WebP formats allow for you to create smaller and richer images without the risk of lossy compression for images in your app.
With Filestack’s auto_image task, the same image can be delivered as a WebP format which allows for even further compression without visible loss of quality.
What does Filestack’s image format converter provide?
- You’ll have better control of what image formats you want in your application
- You’ll be able to automatically convert images to these next-gen formats:
- WebP – Developed by Google in 2010, the WebP format is capable of superb lossless and lossy compression, greatly reducing image size. It supports transparency and image animation. WebP is supported by most browsers, including Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox, making it a strong candidate for being the next image compression standard.
- JPEG XR – Introduced by Microsoft in 2009, JPEG XR is a highly compressible, resource-efficient image format. It supports transparency and both lossless and lossy compression. JPEG XR leaves a small footprint on memory. It is currently supported only by the Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer browsers.
- You’ll make your images load faster while preserving quality with WebP lossless compression, leading to a pristine image experience for your users.
- You can chain Filestack’s auto_image task with other tasks using Workflows.
Chain The Image Format Converter with Other Tasks Using Workflows
Filestack is a complete solution with a flexible and powerful API that allows you to chain your tasks one by one to simplify your process and achieve better results
For example, you can reduce an image size more when applying compression and resize tasks alongside the auto-image task. As a result, the quality of your image is preserved and your website speeds are vastly improved
Take a Look at a Real Example
The image in the example below has undergone resizing, conversion to WebP format, and compression via Filestack. The original version of the image is 11.1 MB and was formatted as a PNG. After the Filestack conversion parameters were applied, it was shrunk down to 375 KB without any visible loss in image quality.
Create a better experience for your users without compromising your application speeds
WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.
