    Default Support for webp file format.

    Many online news sites are now posting images in .webp file format that allows very large photos to load quickly. According to Wikipedia:

    WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs.
    This photo https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019...y=90&auto=webp which is about 1MB and has incredible detail is an example of one of these images.

    I think this would be a good option to to have for website work. Especially with the current large screen sizes.

    Yes, but it would need to built into Xara such that it can serve up either a webp image if the browser supports it or a normal jpg or png if the browser doesn't support the webp format. i.e. rather similar to how the @2x.jpg is served up dependant on the viewing device. If it's not built in it'll be more hassle telling any particular browser which image to serve up.

    It needs a similar approach to my SVG suggestion...

    @Gary, as the image is greyscale, it is difficult to compare with other images; a full 24-bit colour version might be massive.

    If you look at the main photos on the Guardian website, or most major news sites, you will see a lot of these images and most in color. This was from an article in the New York Times and because it was comparing Bernie Sanders to Eugene Debbs, a socialist in the early 1900s they chose black and white.

    I agree this format is a necessary export format as it's getting increasingly standardized.

    Just use jpgs and/or pngs when transparency is needed.

    Well, other than svgs + fallback.
