These images were uploaded in the GIF format. It is suggested that the original sources be revisited and that a PNG or SVG file without compression artifacts be uploaded in their places. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload. Images can be added to this category by placing the {} template on the image description page.
The support for animation allowed for converting older animated GIFs to animated WebP. The WebP container (i.e., RIFF container for WebP) allows feature support over and above the basic use case of WebP (i.e., a file containing a single image encoded as a VP8 key frame). The WebP container provides additional support for:
Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other digital data.

WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google intended as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, [8] as well as animation and alpha transparency.
The images may also function as animation frames in an animated GIF file, but again these need not fill the entire logical screen. GIF files start with a fixed-length header ("GIF87a" or "GIF89a") giving the version, followed by a fixed-length Logical Screen Descriptor giving the pixel dimensions and other characteristics of the logical screen.
Original image, with good text edges and color grade Loss of edge clarity and tone "fuzziness" in heavy JPEG compression A compression artifact (or artefact ) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images , audio , and video ) caused by the application of lossy compression .
Images can often be improved – or even transformed – by using graphics software such as Photoshop or the free GIMP and Paint.NET applications. Many other programs also have photo-enhancing tools, including facilities for semi-automatic image enhancement, so that you need only click a button, or choose a thumbnail, to have a positive effect on image quality.
