FAQ: WebP for Cauca
Is WebP lossy or lossless?
Both. By default the exporter uses lossy at quality 80, but it also supports a lossless mode with bit-exact pixel preservation.
Does WebP keep transparency?
Yes, WebP supports an alpha channel in both modes. That is its advantage over JPEG for icons and overlays with soft edges.
Can I open WebP in a map editor?
WebP is a raster picture of the map; its layers are not editable. For editing geometry use SVG, DXF or GeoJSON.
Which quality should I choose?
80 by default — at that setting artifacts on lines and labels are barely visible. Below 60 the map starts to blur precisely on thin road lines; if every detail matters, take the lossless mode.
Are there coordinates in the file?
No, WebP has no georeferencing — it is an ordinary picture. For a GIS take GeoTIFF or COG, for an interactive map — tiles.
