Summary: Add .webp to the list of accepted file types on
Wikimedia Commons uploads
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://code.google.com/speed/webp/index.html
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
As a related project to the VP8/Webm video codec, Google has released an early
version WebP (goo.gl/VmXd), of a lossy image compression that claims to have
better compression results than JPEG (goo.gl/7an8).
There is no patent incumberance of this file format.
Google has also announced to add WebP support to its Chrome Browser and to
submit a patch to the Webkit rendering engine. The relationship of WebP and
WebM means that a browser already using libvpx for the video display will have
little problems adding support to the webp images and support for webp by
Firefox and Opera is likely.
.webp should be added to the permitted file extensions for Wikimedia Commons
uploads, even if right now webp files should not be included for example for
the illustration of Wikipedia articles.
