    Why did you upload it as a webp? Nothing against ya, but webp can burn in hell in for it’s sins (inconveniencing me when I forward memes to telegram and they come out as stickers) lol

    Legit tho, how did you make it a webp? I never tried it, is it an export option on gimp?

        It’s such a stupid decision! They can’t even benefit from the better compression on all of the other images shared around because of this dumb decision

      sounds like we should get off telegram! (or at least the official client?)

      WebP is a pretty awesome format with awesome compression, both lossless and lossy. It’s only behind JXL which is not widely adopted.

        Trust me, I want to get out of telegram, but the issue is that all of my friends do not want to leave. Stickers are a huge reason for them staying on telegram, but the real reason is that they’re used to it so they don’t want to try new stuff

      Yes, it’s an export option in Gimp, and I also use it everywhere. It’s smaller than both PNG and JPG, does the job of both (lossy and lossless), and has better quality at the same size.

        Nice!! I have been needing to upload some documents to websites with ridiculously small size limitations, so that’s really useful! Thanks!
