Depending on the content of the image, the compression ratio can vary a lot. The 26% figure is probably for "normal" photos. My images are mostly a few shades of black with a few white pixels (using a camera as a radiation detector) and I guess WebP is way better at compressing that than PNG.

The article says they kept 15% of the data for testing, so it's not overfitting. I'm still skeptical though.

The WebP format supports fully lossless compression in addition to lossy compression. I used the lossless mode for my images.

What do you mean? That's the total file size of the images before and after I converted them to webp.

It losslessly compressed ~150GB of my PNGs to ~75GB, so I'd say it's definitely better space-wise.

19 million miles is 102 light seconds.
