Confused upon webp generating

    Hello,

    there is a description:

    By default, the WebP Uploads module will only generate WebP versions of the images that you upload. If you wish to have both WebP?and?JPEG versions generated, you can navigate to?Settings > Media?and enable the?Generate JPEG files in addition to WebP?option.

    So, the original uploaded JPEG image will be deleted after the Webp version was generated after an jpeg image is uploaded?

    Thanks

    Hi @alexliii,

    Thanks for reaching out. If you don’t have the “Settings > Media > Generate JPEG files in addition to WebP” option enabled, the original JPEG version of an image you upload will exist within your file directory system, but only the WebP version of that image will be accessible when selecting an image from your WordPress media inventory. WordPress will only register the WebP version.

    In addition, for all the size variations of an uploaded image which WordPress generates by default (without the PL plugin), only WebP versions are generated.

    Let me know if that answers your question, of if you have any further questions on this.

    So, Generating Webp is natively supported by WordPress since 6.1 version even without of PL?

    looking forward to your clarification.

    Thanks

    Hi @alexliii,

    WebP support was available in WordPress as of version 5.8. See below:
    https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2021/06/07/wordpress-5-8-adds-webp-support/

    The Performance Lab plugin can generate WebP versions of your JPEG images, which is separate to WordPress core WebP support.

    Hi, if the browser doesn’t support WebP format, will JPG format be displayed?

    @luislu Yes that’s correct, this is what should be happening in this scenario. If you have any further questions could you please open a new topic rather than commenting on other previous topics, thanks!
