Add modern File Types like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR and WebP

The Loading Time would be much faster. Google Page Speed say that it could be 7 seconds faster with this modern File types.

Admin Note:
Due to limited browser support, it's unlikely that we'll build the ability to use JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, or WebP until there's full browser support.

    For those who’ve been asking, the wait is over: we’ve just added support for WebP images in Webflow!

    For the uninitiated, WebP is a modern, more compact image format that lets you serve high-quality images at a smaller file size than traditional JPEG and PNG formats — which means your site loads faster (and ranks better) without compromising the quality of your images.

    A note on browser support: while a very small percentage of old browsers don’t support WebP images, WebP is considered very widely supported (with coverage by more than 96% of browsers). That said, if your site visitors tend to come from browsers (such as IE 11), you may want to stick with more traditional image formats.

    WebP is supported in all but dead browsers or browsers that make up 0.05% of web use. AVIF is gaining support daily. Let's get some Next Gen formats on the go!

    We really need this feature! Not being able to use modern file types is killing us on site loading speed and core vitals. Please add this.

    We really need this! This is the biggest factor in our mobile site speed. And since most people are converting on mobile, this directly impacts our business.

    Now that IE11 is out of the picture, can we please have this? Pretty Please? :)

    Like many others before me, I don't understand why a CMS that seeks to dethrone all the others does not allow uploading the WebP format... it's not comprehensible in 2022 (especially since it doesn't shouldn't be a big feature to add).

    I hope Webflow tech support reads some comments on this forum.

    Hi guys - This thread is almost 3 years old.

    We all know about the importance of SEO to website owners and we all know that page speed is one of many core ranking factors - highlighted by Google pushing webmasters everywhere to aspire to achieving the standards laid out in their Core Web Vitals.

    It's been said by lots of users already; images play a big role in how fast a page loads for a user - and supporting .webp would be a big step in the right direction for us all and for every user who happens to visit a site built with WebFlow.

    According to https://caniuse.com/ .webp support is now greater than .gif which is supported by WebFlow.

    I can see why you might choose to wait for .avif (unless you can also come up with an elegant fallback solution).

    .png - 97.85% of global users.

    .svg - 97.81% of global users.

    .AVIF - 68.86% of global users.

    .webp - 94.25% of global users.

    .gif - 93.41% of global users.

    Every client understands the importance of a fast loading site for users, and more and more are asking for site designers and developers to achieve 90+ scores on Core Web Vitals in their site build briefs.

    So, can you at least provide a view from the WebFlow product management as to when, if ever, this might be rolled-out?
