django-webp-converter

Introduction

django-webp-converter is a Django app which straightforwardly converts static images to WebP images, falling back to the original static image for unsupported browsers.

WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller in size compared to JPEG images at equivalent SSIM index (https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/?hl=en). By using WebP images, you can increase page load speeds with no noticeable change in image quality.
