Is it possible to support WebP? The sprite we built is 166KB which is huge. #75

WebP should save us ~50% of space. In slow speed mobile network it can save ~2 seconds of loading time.

Thanks

Yes, it's possible to output a WebP image. It mostly depends on the engine. I'm unsure if any of our current engines would support WebP but spritesmith is flexible enough to support additional engines

Additionally, any output lossless image (e.g. PNG) should be able to be converted to WebP after it's generated
