Convert Jpg To Webp

I have just recently learned about the webp image format and its benefits over older formats. I decided to give it a whirl on this site after some testing locally. The conversion was done with defaults, no additional flags. Commands used are as follows:

cwebp file.jpg -o file.webp
gif2webp file.gif -o file.webp (to my surprise, it kept it as an animated image!)

As you can see outside of the animated gif, there is a pretty large size difference!
