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

No, everyone knows these formats, just not what they’re for. Like people use jpg for everything when they should be using png. Like in this entire discussion.

Okay, inasmuch as everyone in this thread not understanding the difference between png and jpg is a marketing problem.
Instead of thinking it’s a user issue, it should be up to developers to make sure the user doesn’t have to care. I promise they won’t either way.
It’s a development problem.

Right. We agree that’s a rather gruelling experience you shouldn’t have had to have in an ideal world.
I’m saying that’s a problem that can and should be solved by the technology itself. Future users shouldn’t even have to think about that, and I say that from the position of knowing far too much about it.
It’s absolutely exhausting, as a user, to have to keep that level of knowledge current every several years for decades, and there’s no reason we should have to anymore. The technology is advanced enough to take more burdens off its users.
Sorry for the rant, but the image format debate exemplifies this.

Perhaps. This isn’t the best forum for this, either.
Rule of thumb: save as png.
