Tbh I am vaguely wondering what people are using that doesn’t support webp in 2025. Apple and google have supported it on their respective devices and computers for years, all relevant browsers support it, all major open source projects have supported it for years and apparently even Windows inbuilt apps support it now (according to wikipedia, I don’t run a windows system to test that anymore).
i’ll point out that i have to convert my webp to png/jpeg to upload it to blahaj lemmy (haven’t tried on piefed yet). beyond that a lot of sites dont support webp uploads, even those that do hide it for some reason? like discord still treats all webp as gifs iirc. whatsapp will not recognize webp unless u force it. artstation doesnt support webp
since my work is in graphics, its second nature for me to convert images how i want but i think the current end user situation can be a pain if someone isnt used to image manipulation
