I’ve had more problems with HEIC/HEIF than webp, but no one has a problem that their phone takes pictures in that format even when no websites accept it.
Webp hate is so forced.
Yeah, fully agreed
I want to get this off my chest. I hate Google especially for trying to block JPEG XL. What’s it with forcing video codecs into image formats? AVIF and Webp are objectively inferior to JPEG XL in every single way. Well, I can explain that myself. The guy who made the AVIF format has his feelings hurt by user choice. Can you imagine all of the bandwidth and power savings if CDNs could actually use the format that they’d like to use?
Is this a Windows problem I’m too Linux to understand?
.webpworks just fine in every piece of software I have.Eh, there are plenty of FOSS software that implement it just fine, but I know for a fact that the default image viewers of some major distros don’t
It works just fine in KDE (both viewing in Okular and previews/thumbnails in Dolphin). Maybe it’s just GNOME that sucks?
The main issue I’ve had is trying to share memes in that format via mms.
deprecated operating system problems
Simply rename the file from “file.webp” to “file.png” and it’ll work fine. No need to convert anything.
Hah! you got me, I actually tried it…
I don’t care what format someone uses as long as software I use supports it. I’d rather save as much bandwidth and support as many features as possible. Animated GIFs and JPEGs are literally ancient formats from the 90s at this point that are terribly optimized and so limited in their feature support. I want 120fps HDR animated images that can be bigger than 640x480 without playback being choppy and the file size being over 200MB.
But it works in the browser.
Last time I checked the EPUB standard (3.3 atm, I think?) does not support webp…
I try to use replace logos and stuff witu SVGs as much as possible. Poorly edited epubs love to have an excess of images.
