WebP supports lossy or lossless image compression and transparency. File size depends on content, dimensions and encoding settings.
Concrete Shopify example
Illustrative example: compare two product-photo exports at identical dimensions, checking texture, text and edges before choosing a size/quality trade-off.
My take
Resize before merely changing format. Inspect what the browser receives; a filename extension does not always describe the delivered format.
