I like the idea of webp. But ugh it's annoying that I can't easily share it. My main way to communicate with some folks I'm close with is Messenger and it doesn't support webp. So to send people funny pictures, I have to screenshot and crop.
theres a firefox extention to save webp as png or jpg, when you right click a webp, you can then select "save webp as" and then pick jpg/png
Meta only had 12 years to implement this. They simply could not be bothered. Even with free libraries and documentation of how to implement this web standard.
Yes 5 years ago from a basic user standpoint where he was still pretty rare and difficult to work with. Even the GMU image manipulation program required an add-on plugin to open them. Today it opens exports and manipulate some just fine as does krita blender and most other applications that I try to use it with. It's not the formats fault. It's the greedy corporate monocultures that can't be bothered to compete and implement new features and formats to cater to their customers. Because you're not there? You are their products.
I literally created my own python program to mass convert webp images into png images because they're so annoying to edit or work with and I didn't want to screenshot
you dont need to say literally there, do you?
I literally do though
(I literally have a gun pointed at my head by the Literally Goblin and he is literally going to literally kill me if I don't literally say literally a lot)
Literally lol
