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

    You can take them into GIMP (or probably any image editing software) and turn them into png or what have you.

        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.

        This only changes the user-friendly name, not the way the file is encoded.
