| Quality .webp | The quality for the .webp image (0..100). 100 has best picture quality but image file weight is the biggest Note that when an image of WebP type is encountered, a fallback image is also created. WebP support requires PHP 7.1 minimum when using the GD extension |

An image PHP extension is required for the creation of image thumbnails. The GD PHP extension is used by default. Make sure this extension is available on your service provider's server. The extension will detect this automatically.
Joomla 4 The extension supports the Imagick PHP image extension. If Imagick is available on your server, you may use it instead of the GD extension. To do so, go to the SimplifyYourWeb extensions System plugin and select the preferred library.
When WebP or Avif thumbnails are created, fallback images are automatically created as well (as specified in the 'advanced' tab) for the largest browser support.
When using the slider with auto-resize thumbnails, the slider script is fully responsible for the output and is not compatible with the <picture> element. Therefore, if the slide's image is using the WebP image file format (for instance), the fallback is used instead for the thumbnail.
