What is a .WP2 file?
A .WP2 file is a type of image file that uses the WebP 2 image format. This format is an updated version of the original WebP format. It is designed to make image files smaller while keeping their quality. This means that images in the WebP 2 format can be compressed to reduce their file size by about 30% more than the original WebP images without losing much image quality.
The WebP 2 format is versatile as it supports both lossy and lossless compression. Lossy compression reduces file size by slightly lowering image quality, which might not be noticeable at a glance. Lossless compression reduces file size without affecting the image quality at all. Additionally, .WP2 files can handle animations, which means they can store moving images like a short looping video. They also support an alpha channel, which is used for managing the transparency of the image. This is useful for overlaying images on different backgrounds without a visible box around them.
To open a .WP2 file, you can use a program that supports this format. One such program is the WebP 2 Codec Package. This software allows your computer to recognize and open .WP2 files. You can install this package to view, edit, or convert these images on your computer.
