- **Category:** Images

- **Supported formats:** .webp

## Overview

This WebP viewer renders WebP images locally in your browser. WebP is a modern image format from Google that produces noticeably smaller files than JPEG and PNG while supporting transparency and animation. Pick a sample or choose your own .webp file to preview it at full quality with no upload.

## When to use

- You received a .webp image and want a quick preview without converting it.
- You need to inspect a transparent or animated WebP before using it on a page.
- You want to check WebP quality at full resolution without installing tools.

## How it works

- Select a built-in sample or choose your own .webp file.
- The viewer decodes the WebP entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- Inspect the image at full resolution, then switch samples or load another file any time.

## Use cases

- Previewing WebP photos and web assets.
- Checking transparent WebP logos or animated WebP loops.
- Quickly inspecting downloaded .webp files on a shared machine.
