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.

    For anyone who doesn’t know, you can easily change the file extension to .jpg and it’ll still work.

      But also know that it’s not a jpeg, and it only works because whatever app is opening the jpeg is able to read the webp format.

        You cannot rename a file from webp to jpg, but you can change the URL to .jpg and it will likely serve you the jpeg version. You can also convert webp to another format with dwebp or MS Paint.
