philsward commentedSorry if this isn't the place to post this, but what are the thoughts on setting up core to convert the image from jpg / png to the webp format and serving both legacy and new webp format, depending on the browser's capability of understanding the new format?
I guess my question is: "How cool would it be to have Drupal as the first CMS to push WebP by default?" I like what I see with the new format, taking a 238kb sized file and compressing it 113kb with a quality setting of 90. I expect all of the major browsers (except IE) to quickly adopt the new format and the more who start pushing it, the faster M$ will be forced to implement it. I realize there's a lot to this request, just throwing out the idea :)

dave reidConverting between image types is likely out of scope of core. One could probably add an image style transformation for it in contrib easily.

Jorrit commentedIs it possible that the patch from #1 is committed to D8, D7 and perhaps D6 separately from an increase in the scope to Media Initiative?

Comment #10
Jorrit commentedI have updated the above patch to include .webm, .weba and .webp. I have also taken the liberty to add the extension and mime type for WebVTT, which is the new HTML5
<video>caption/subtitle format. I hope that this patch can be committed soon, I will backport this to Drupal 7 when this is committed to Drupal 8.Comment #12

Comment #13
Jorrit commentedThe two failing tests both seem to be unrelated to the patch.
[edit]: now all tests pass

therobyouknow commentedSupport for webp for example still not working in 8.5.4 it seems: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2313075#comment-12670991
Also, not sure why this 8.0 issue is being merged into a 7.x issue: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/1443070
Thank you for your attention to this matter, please share your thoughts.
