Request for Converting Incoming Images to WebP Format

I would like to request the addition of a feature that automatically converts all incoming images to the `.webp` format.

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Converting images to WebP can help reduce file sizes, improve load times, and enhance overall performance.

Key features to consider for this implementation:

- Automatic conversion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, and other common image formats to WebP upon upload.
- Option to retain the original format as a backup.
- Easy integration with existing file handling mechanisms in Django.
- Compatibility with popular Django storage backends (e.g., AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage).

Implementing this feature would significantly optimize the storage and delivery of images, particularly for web projects focused on performance.
