webp still is not supported by browsers used by a lot of users.
As for scraping images from vendors, I see several issues:
- Permission. Copyright. Have they given you permission to do this? If so, that same conversation of asking for permission could be had with their marketing department who actually has the originals of those images, and could simply supply them to you in high quality.
Scraping issue solved.
And, if your counter-argument to this is that "I've tried that years ago", then maybe it's time to re-visit the conversation "today" and convince them of the value of collaborating with you.
-
If your existing scraping script is grabbing low-quality images but their website uses higher-quality images then perhaps you're not scraping the right files?
-
Why convert from png > jpg? If you're re-processing already-low-res images, you're going to end up with even lower quality images.
