Disable image compression for WebP

Question

The following function disables image compression:

add_filter( 'wp_editor_set_quality', function( $arg ) {
    return 100;
});

Does this cover WebP images as well as JPEGs?

Answer 1

It does cover webp as well. From several google pages the default compression was 86. You could also test to confirm by uploading a few with different settings in your functions. This issue on Github shows they changed the default quality to 82. https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/563.

We can see that webp images use the same quality value as jpeg images here.
