    I've had more problems with HEIC/HEIF than webp, but no one has a problem that their phone takes pictures in that format even when no websites accept it.

    Webp hate is so forced.

      the only one that annoys me is telegram https://bugs.telegram.org/c/1021

      and that's not because they don't support it, they do, they just use it for stickers instead of images.......

        Because phones (at least iPhone) decide themselves, if the photo is exported in jpg or HEIC codec based on targeted destination.

            Is this a Windows problem I'm too Linux to understand? .webp works just fine in every piece of software I have.

              I think it's more of a mobile phone issue especially messaging apps. People see a meme they like on here or Reddit and download it. Then they try to send it to friends and family and Facebook Messenger or Signal or whatever can't read webp.

                You know what? I just realized I haven't actually tried to open a webp file in years. I'm just so used to cancelling the save dialog and taking a screenshot instead when I see a webp extension, I didn't even consider it might actually be supported now.

                  Yea, never said that it would not be like that, and I assume that android as well, tries to find out on it’s own, if it can send the pic as heic to the desired destination, or if has to convert it on the fly to something like jpg in order fir stuff to work

                  I just don’t know if that is the case, that is why I specified, that I only know it for iPhone

                    It does not. All pictures on my phone are .heic unless manually changed or Raw, there is no automatic conversion when trying to upload them somewhere.

                      I want to get this off my chest. I hate Google especially for trying to block JPEG XL. What's it with forcing video codecs into image formats? AVIF and Webp are objectively inferior to JPEG XL in every single way. Well, I can explain that myself. The guy who made the AVIF format has his feelings hurt by user choice. Can you imagine all of the bandwidth and power savings if CDNs could actually use the format that they'd like to use?

                          It's a software issue rather than OS. Too many programs and websites can't handle webp.

                            Eh, there are plenty of FOSS software that implement it just fine, but I know for a fact that the default image viewers of some major distros don't

                                It works just fine in KDE (both viewing in Okular and previews/thumbnails in Dolphin). Maybe it's just GNOME that sucks?

                                  From memory Paint on W10 is able to open webp, and save as another file extension if required. I had to convert so many of these images for product listings online, only for them to be converted back to webp...

                                    Simply rename the file from "file.webp" to "file.png" and it'll work fine. No need to convert anything.

                                          Every photo I take on my android is and has been Jpg out the box..? Granted I've only had 3, but they all do Jpg. This is the first I've even heard of heic files.
