Digitised archives, artwork scans and heritage photographs live as TIFFs and need to appear online without their multi-megabyte weight. WebP handles the translation: graphics-like content compresses losslessly, photographic scans take quality 82 lossy, and both drop to sizes pages can serve. The automatic choice can be overridden. Conversion runs locally, and resizing to display dimensions, offered under More options, usually saves more than the format change itself.
Questions
Should the online copy be lossless?
Only if viewers will zoom to pixel level. For normal display, quality 82 is indistinguishable and far smaller; the TIFF remains the reference.
What display size should I resize to?
The largest size the page will actually show, commonly 1600 to 2400 pixels wide. Serving 600 dpi scans to browsers helps no one.
Is the scan uploaded?
No, conversion is entirely local.
