I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.

Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit

        The webp package does it too. You can make a script and add it to your right click “open with” options

        #!/bin/bash
# Convert .webp to .png
outfile="${1%.webp}.png"
dwebp $1 -o $outfile

        if you want to use Magick, replace the last line with

        convert $1 $outfile

      Or use “save as” and replace the “.webp” extension with “.jpeg” in the file dialog.
