is it a formatting step that an image goes through when uploaded? I’m tired of converting image after image back into jpg, so if there’s like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp, it would help to know

    A lot of apps don’t support webp yet. Facebook Messenger is a good example. If I want to share a meme that was webp it says “GIF” in the gallery and says it can’t upload images in that format.

      So sad that the poor management at Meta can’t find the money to add webp support to one of the most used chatting apps in the world 🥺

        They still haven’t managed to find a way they could make $$$ out of supporting WebP.

      I’ve literally only run into 1 program that couldn’t handle webp and that was a FOMOD creation tool for Bethesda game modding, and even then it worked but just tossed an unknown extension error

      Though if you’re using Facebook messenger that’s probably the issue right there lol

          I haven’t used a static wallpaper in so long I’d completely forgotten Windows normally handles that lol

              Wallpaper Engine, I have like 15 animated wallpapers that it cycles through and had totally forgotten about it cuz it’s been like 4 years since I set it up

              Works great
