      Webp is just a more data efficient format, lots of sites are switching to it because it can greatly decrease bandwidth and storage costs.

        I don’t think anyone here was unfamiliar with what a .webp was besides maybe @[email protected]. OP was just pointing out it’s weird to see a greentext using anything besides .jpg

        The only problem is that basically no software supports it, so if you’re saving pictures for a slideshow or something, webp is impossible to use.

          Yeah, what is up with that?

          Most photo software supports so many formats, and it is not like webp is a brand new one. It is also widely used on the internet by this point.

          Why does it take so long to get support on any of them without installing a separate plugin?

            WebP was shoehorned in by Google through Chrome. Other browsers felt pressured to support it as to not be left behind. Other software didn’t feel as pressured and is still resisting adding support to this day. Same thing with WebM.

      I’m on the upper end of generation Z and I’ve never heard or seen webp at all. .jpg is the one I’ve seen used.
