How to Resize WEBP Files Using C#
Constructing a website is a complex endeavor where each element holds significance. A crucial aspect in the process of populating web pages revolves around resizing images. Often, the need arises to resize their dimensions and prepare images or photos in varying resolutions. For instance, pages featuring image galleries with previews require small thumbnail files, while pages showcasing main images demand high-resolution versions. For larger files, resizing is essential to reduce total pixel count, thus diminishing file size without significantly compromising image quality. During image resizing, you can also choose the degree of data compression to strike a balance between image size and quality. Reduced image sizes lead to quicker loading times from the internet, enhancing the user browsing experience on your website. In order to merge WEBP files, we’ll use Aspose.Imaging for .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for C# platform.

WEBP What is WEBP File Format
WebP, introduced by Google, is a modern raster web image file format that is based on lossless and lossy compression. It provides same image quality while considerably reducing the image size. Since most of the web pages use images as effective representation of data, the use of WebP images in web pages results in faster loading of web pages. As per Google, WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs, while WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images. Images are compared based on the Structural Similarity (SSIM) index between WebP and other image file formats. WebP is a sister project of WebM multimedia container format.
