Add PNG and JPEG to WebP transcoding #10

Closed gaul closed 7 years ago

gaul commented 7 years ago

WebP lossy mode offers up to 30% better compression than JPEG.

Great stuff, I didn't bother with this because firefox didn't support webp at the time (I think that's still the case). Maybe webp could be used for (possibly animated) gifs as well?

I also use Firefox which does not support WebP but this may change soon:

I tested that compy serves JPEG to Firefox and WebP to Chromium.

Firefox 65 should ship this:
