Description

@CMiksche

WebP offers the same quality and also animations, but needs way less data. (One GIF of mine was 171 KB and the same as WebP was just 13 KB)

    Output to a webm video format, then include it using the video HTML5 tag.

    WebM is a video format, I want an animated picture, which WebP also offers (see the "Animation" part in your linked Wikipedia article)

    You can include WebP in your GitHub / GitLab Repos. I never saw someone using a video format inside a repo...

    @CMiksche we'll definitely implement this feature! Will be cool to have webp animated images! Thank you for creating this issue!

    For anything containing sharp, high-contrast edges (such as rendered fonts) you'll want a media format that supports 4:4:4 chroma.
    At least the lossy version of webp uses 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. The lossless version could be used but it most likely doesn't compress as well.

    The following web-compatible formats should support full chroma:

    ¹ no chroma subsampling, but of course it still suffers from its limited palette

    Hope VHS gets this one day. Till then, have a look at S-VHS, which already supports animated WebP.
