Convert a tweet to WebP
If the tweet is going onto a web page, WebP is the format that helps the page rather than slowing it down: roughly 25 to 35 percent smaller than PNG or JPG at the same perceived quality, and unlike JPEG it keeps a transparent background.

The trade-off is reach: WebP is supported by every current browser but some older desktop software and a few social uploaders still reject it. Use it for websites and apps, and fall back to PNG or JPG when you are handing the file to someone else.
Questions
- Where can I not use a WebP image?
- A few social upload forms and older desktop editors still reject WebP. For those, export the same tweet as PNG or JPG instead.
- Does WebP support transparency?
- Yes, WebP has an alpha channel, so you can keep a transparent background and still get a much smaller file than PNG.
- Is WebP good for SEO?
- Indirectly. Smaller images load faster, which improves Largest Contentful Paint, and page speed is a ranking signal.
