Web Image Optimization in 2026: WebP, AVIF, en Beter
Moderne beeldformaten leveren snellere pagina's. Leer wanneer je te maken hebt met WebP, AVIF, JPG, en PNG — plus hoe je ze kunt converteren voor gratis.
Page speed directly impacts SEO rankings and user engagement. Images are typically the largest assets on a web page, making image optimization one of the highest-impact performance improvements you can make.
WebP, developed by Google, has become the de facto standard for web images in 2026. It offers 25-35% smaller files than JPG at comparable quality, supports transparency (like PNG), and animation (like GIF). Browser support is now universal.
AVIF pushes the boundary further with 30-50% better compression than WebP. Derived from the AV1 video codec, AVIF delivers stunning quality at tiny file sizes. Browser support has reached 95%+ with Safari joining Chrome and Firefox.
Choosing the right format depends on your needs: AVIF for maximum compression on modern browsers, WebP as a broadly compatible modern format, JPG for legacy fallback, and PNG only when lossless quality with transparency is essential. SVG remains the best choice for icons and logos.
