    Gif since 1987
    Jpg since 1991
    Webp since 2010

    13 years is a long time in tech.

    Now… could we talk about .heic files?

        High Efficiency Image Codec (or container, I’m not 100% sure). More commonly known as HEIF - High Efficiency Image Format.
        Most modern smart phones can or will use this format because it’s like jpeg, but better. Higher quality with smaller file sizes.

        Overall support for the format still lags behind jpeg though.

      And webp handling still doesn’t work properly outside of browsers.

        On Ubuntu you can install the lib-webp package and all other systems suddenly support it (previews in files, image viewers etc).

        I don’t understand why it’s not just installed by default though.

        I think PowerToys for Windows also adds webp support to Explorer.
