Yeah, man, gotta use mozjpeg.
in my honest opinion, it’s a real shame that webp isn’t widely supported. it’s actually really great: it has awesome lossless compression, it’s so much smaller than a png while not losing any quality, it supports animation and loops, etc. it’s like jpg, png, and gif rolled into one format.
for my use cases of memes or a PowerPoint type thing once in a while for school. Literally any image format works for me. I don't care about quality (as long as it's not REALLY bad) and just want to get the image from Google to the PowerPoint, and somehow GOOGLES own image format fails to work for GOOGLES PowerPoint product.
I don't understand how you can not support your own format 10 years after it came out.
pro tip by the way, you can open it in Microsoft paint then "save as -> .PNG" to get Google slides/whatever to accept it.
(before someone recommends alternatives, im talking about use on a locked down school computer. I can't use alternative software that's better because they block images in WIKIPEDIA, no shot for using an actual foss software lmao)
Plus, it makes a bunch of users resort to adding extensions to their browser such as
"Save webP as PNG or JPEG 1.5.4"
which is fine but absolutely not as secure as without extensions.
use on a locked down school computer.
Shift + Win + S
I'll bet they didn't disable that in Group Policy. Lasso that sumbitch right off your screen and then just paste it into whatever.
Paint trick would leave the option for higher quality, a screen grab leaves you at screen grab resolution.
True, but I'll wager most of the things people are filching for these purposes get displayed on the screen at 100% scale anyway. Unless you're sniping a picture for large format print, in which case I figure you'd probably be under less restrictive conditions... Hopefully.
Ask your boss if you can install GIMP
webp is absofuckinglutely inferior to JPEG-XL and that one is where you actually have that problem. I’m literally providing an avif-fallback on my website, because otherwise pretty much no browser would support anything.
(Speaking of it, avif is also superior to webp.)
I'll take ASCII art over webp.
miss the days when I could watch the entire matrix movie on ascii before BitTorrent and streaming
Some dude ran a public telnet server, which upon connecting, would present to you the entirety of Star Wars: A New Hope in ASCII. It was glorious.
The giant jpeg square artefact on the side of Homer's head in the first frame undermines the message somewhat.
I'm not sure that's a JPEG artifact. It looks more like a video compression artifact (since the image is probably taken from a video).
Wait till this guy hears what videos are made of
lol there's a specific AVI format based on JPEG, but other file formats use different algorithms
