It would be very useful feature and it’s more comfortable to use one image format instead of two: PNG and JPEG. WebP has advantage over JPEG and PNG as it has better compression (about 25%), supports transparency and lossless compression.

Ansca Team, what do you think? [import]uid: 9058 topic_id: 17994 reply_id: 317994[/import]
As far as I know does iOS use optimized PNGs, therefore using another fileformat would result in more calculating (due to decoding it).

I know this, but it needs to be tested on how long is this “more calculating”.
Anyway we use JPEGs also, which is not optimized for iOS, also Corona is not for iOS only - on Android you have no built-in optimization for PNGs.
Also adding support for new image format is not restricting you from using PNG, when you want. [import]uid: 9058 topic_id: 17994 reply_id: 68916[/import]
