I already mentioned it, but to reply to your question, in addition to a 
very small file size, WebP can have *transparency*. Thumbnails with 
transparency and semi-transparent alpha channels (from originals with 
transparency) allow people to easily change their skin or their 
background, or enable a dark mode, or place thumbnails in a %frame%, and 
this will work better than thumbnails with a fixed solid color.

Not having to add a background color will also make the ThumbList/Mini 
code and configuration simpler.

WebP files can be opened and saved by PHP since version 5.4.
