Does iOS support webp image format

I was wondering whether there is any official support for the webp image format. Anyone?

Replies

no

there is not

which is sad considering Gabriel Harrison's wrapper around google webp.framework

takes 18 seconds on 6S to encode 4K image off the camera into webp

(that AND colors are all wrong)

it's sad cause jpeg is unusable for subsequent OCR due to 8x8 block encoding

and png is obviously a poor match to GPRS (and even 3G, even at 1080p let alone 4k)
