I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.

Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit

Can someone give me an example where webp gets in the way? I’ve been using it for a while and both macOS and Windows seem to support the format without any third party extensions for a while now and so do the Affinity apps.

I can use webp like any other image format at this point.

Adobe has no time for it, so it ads that annoying extra step when collecting assets. I would appreciate Adobe support for it natively in Pr / Ps / Ae / Me and I’m cool with it.

Wow, doesn’t surprise me that Adobe does not support it. They still don’t support full screen or native dark mode on macOS in After Effects. Guess poor Adobe can’t be bothered to update basic functionality.

In my personal experience, when downloading .webp files I wasn’t able to upload to the places I needed to much of the time. But I’ve always been able to just slap .jpg to the end of the file name as I used the save as function and that would make it work everywhere just fine.

Actually, just changing the file name doesn’t change the format. If it works, it’s because whatever place you uploaded to already supported webp.

If you download a webp file and you really want jpg, you need to actually convert it, not just slap .jpg on the end.

In that context: Websites may offer alternative image formats for the same image. They may offer jpg alongside webp. It’s just not easily discoverable by end users.
