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

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.
It's not

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.

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.
Yeah, fully agreed

Hah! you got me, I actually tried it...

I don't have an iPhone. But every photo I take on my Android is .heic

I don't care what format someone uses as long as software I use supports it. I'd rather save as much bandwidth and support as many features as possible. Animated GIFs and JPEGs are literally ancient formats from the 90s at this point that are terribly optimized and so limited in their feature support. I want 120fps HDR animated images that can be bigger than 640x480 without playback being choppy and the file size being over 200MB.

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.......
I love how they went through all the trouble to set it up for only half the benefit.

I don't think it's a joke, though it's not universal, but many services probably either don't process the image, or use libraries that support webp, and naively limit formats before feeding them in - in those cases, renaming the file can bypass those crappy filters, and other software will probably figure out the filetype based on the actual data.

.webpworks just fine in every piece of software I have.The main issue I've had is trying to share memes in that format via mms.

Last time I checked the EPUB standard (3.3 atm, I think?) does not support webp…
I try to use replace logos and stuff witu SVGs as much as possible. Poorly edited epubs love to have an excess of images.
