Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > If someone uploads a JPG image, will the original file stay as-is? Or is
 it going to be converted to WebP and then deleted? Or will a WebP also be
 generated (in the same size), and the JPG will stay on the server?


 WordPress always keeps the original upload untouched.

 We are currently discussing if we should always create a WebP "full size"
 image as well - thats for small images. For large images, WordPress
 already creates a `-scaled` version and this will now be a WebP by
 default.
