Stop using .webp I’m tired of seeing it

what does it count as if you wrote a FUSE filesystem to convert a folder of images to JPEG on the fly on access?
Webp is annoying and never should have been a standard.
People not adopting standards quickly and correctly is annoying. In no way is this the fault of webp.
So it’s MY fault most other programs and platforms don’t recognize it?
It’s like if all gas stations overnight suddenly decided they no longer provide gasoline but rather fermented lizard piss, and yet 95% of all vehicles still use gasoline, and then blaming the consumer.
No? It’s those programs’ and platforms’ fault, obviously?
What’s annoying with webp?
In my case, none of my image editing software supports it because it’s old and I refuse to upgrade because I’m used to it. So I’ll just open a .webp in paint and save it as PNG to use it. (True Neutral)
I can understand that. I like webp because of its small size. I don’t know how it compares in quality to other formats but jpeg adds up. If I can store in a small size with minimal loss, I’d like that.
Lemmy automatically converts other image types to webp when you upload them. Blame Lemmy devs.
Damn. Guess I better convert all the stuff I download from Lemmy then. Which method though…?
Whatever you want as long as its JPEG-XL

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 don’t think Google docs supports webp!

Amen. Like, I get the initial annoyance with webp but it doesn’t even take this sort of essay to agree that it just is a good format. The only problem right now is that not all sites and software support it, but I hope that will be solved soon enough.
This post is meant to be more of a meme than anything, but this is mainly about end users complaining about the incompatibility of .webp with most software

What kind of evil am I when I send it to my phone, use image conversion app, and send it back to my laptop?
That feels like a Chaotic Neutral. Unless you’re transferring it via something like OneDrive. Then it’s evil. Not sure which kind.
KDE Connect.
if you’re on Linux, there’s a very handy program to convert images: https://apps.gnome.org/en/Converter/
or just rename the file to a different file type, it works surprisingly often
Even renaming .mp4 to .mp3 works fine!
True graphic designers are true neutral.
I ficking love imagemagick.
Magick mogrify -format PNG *.HEIC
Replace HEIC with whatever file extension you need to convert.
Add -q 6 or -quality 90 to reduce the file sizes.
Use -format PDF to bulk convert images to pdfs.
Chaotic Evil:
Print it out, stuff it in a green bell pepper, char the green pepper into ash, eat it, wait 3 days, take a picture of it with a nintendo dsi, transfer it via ftp to hannah montana linux, add green bellpepper watermark via GIMP, save as webp in root directory
You call that evil, but where’s the harm?
Webp is definitely what makes it evil
the harm is to yourself from eating ash, think of the carcinogens!
Stop using .webp I’m tired of seeing it
on ticktock it’s webp, on discord it’s fucking webp. I was in a server, right? and all of the images were just webp. I showed a picture of my underwear to my girlfriend, and the logo-I flipped it, and it saved as webp! I downloaded a fuckin’ trashcan image, and I said, that won’t open in this software! I look at my penis,
.webpenis
