# WebP 2
-WebP 2 is the successor of the WebP image format, currently in development. It
-is not ready for general use, and the format is not finalized so changes to the
-library can break compatibility with images encoded with previous versions. \
-USE AT YOU OWN RISK!
+WebP 2 is an experimental image codec based on WebP. WebP 2 will not be released
+as an image format but is used as a playground for image compression
+experiments.
This package contains the library that can be used in other programs to encode
or decode Webp 2 images, as well as command line tools.

terms of compression efficiency. The new features (like 10b HDR support) are
kept minimal. The axis of experimentation are:
-* more efficient lossy compression (~30% better than WebP, as close to AVIF as
- possible)
+* more efficient lossy compression (~30% better than WebP)
* better visual degradation at very low bitrate
* improved lossless compression
* improved transparency compression
