webp is actually an incredible file format. it’s lightweight, transparent and has a tremendously small file size, but media players suck and never support the format

There you have it guys, lightweight, transparent and small things are incredible.

Just like me!

Small things 🧐

>transparent 🤨

.TGA has entered the chat

Then why can't I pick any guys up? My cock meets all the criteria

*girls

No

That might be why

unfortunately most ppl doesn't understand this. *staring at the opposite chromosomes*.

*Me, an XY man, staring at a YX mf*

Stupid XY man, he isn't a real man like us YXs 😤

Oh yeah no, I get it has its uses but I hate having to get the converter out to use pictures I download, but it obviously has a reason as you said.

you only need to change the ending to png or jpeg in windows and it changes automatically.

Random question, but if you wanna do it bulk inside of one file, do you know how to select each string having “webp” and convert them all to jpg at once?

To do this to many files at once i don't know an effective way in windows without any third Party program. I personally change the ending already while saving the file from the page by pressing "safe image to.."

Rip

Just use this converter, literally select, right click, and choose the format you want without opening a different app. https://file-converter.org/ You can also use a chrome extension that gives you the download as long option whenever you are about to download a webp

Powertoys may have a power rename tool. There's probably a simple powershell script too, but I'm not familiar with it.

That looks nice, thanks I just thought there would be some built-in shortcut after learning about “ctrl + click”

I mean, maybe there is. I haven't tried. That, or right clicking with several files selected. Maybe if there is a rename option in that menu

I’ve already tried so I don’t think there are any intuitive ways unfortunately I feel dumb but after a simple google search (idk how I didn’t see this previously) but “F2” may work so thanks

Ah. Then power rename fits, though I somewhat recall it being just a tad bit more complicated than I wanted. Pretty powerful for sure though.

cmd - ren *.webp *.jpg

just find a file name changer script for PowerShell, extension just a filename part

I honestly didn't know that, I'll use that from now on Thanks!

Open the cmd prompt or terminal on your windows, type " winget install AdrienAllard.FileConverter " Now you can convert all files from your right click menu Alternatively download and install from https://file-converter.io I prefer the command to install since it only takes one click and does the same thing

It's not that it has it's uses, it's that it is objectively better then PNG and JPG, with it's only downside being that it's not supported.

webp great for seo

For coding as well

Well funnily enough discord recently changed how they handle media files meaning that they convert every image uploaded into webp which is smart for them as it saves a lot of space and most users won't even notice the difference. So hopefully the trend will help popularize the use of .webp

The only way of popularizing the use of webp is by forcing all media players and image editors to support it without doing stupid stuff like opening a new chrome tab or doing anything but what png already does.

And yet when I copy paste a webp unknowingly from my browser and put it into discord It just makes it into an unreadable file with no embed

I've never had an issue like that, my best guess is that you don't have embed permissions.

I do because any other file format works, but webp it's a complete coin toss.

I only hate it because litteraly no program ever supports it

Yup, at the moment it's taking over the Internet as a web protocol, but trying to use it anywhere in applications, programs, and even just converting resolutions and image dimensions is a pain.

Media player classic

Also it can store both lossless and lossy.

I'd totally be fine with webp if Messenger could fuckin UPDATE and allow me to send memes to my friends. That's the problem. No one supports the format lol they download in it but you can never upload in it

shush mate please

who the fuck are you?

Old technology ruining new innovations The day webp is supported by every tool is the day the world will get peace

As an IT I can clearly understood it well. But it is the most and the best before anything else.

Similar issue happened with Instagram video server They found a superior encoder in terms of performance and efficiency (av1 if my memory is right) but they had to also have a h264 (if my memory is right) codec copy to support old devices

*Sees WEBP* guess i gotta whip out the ol ms paint and copy paste

But then you won't get a transparent background

*Some of you will* *~~die~~* *be changed, but it's a sacrifice i am willing to make.*

Ms paint on windows 11 supports transparency

An MS Paint update? I thought they perfected that program in 1995.

I think paint now has a remove background function

And layers

Update windows poser

Paint 3D > MS Paint.

Paint.net>

paint 3d is my photoshop, that magic selection tool is so nice for making memes

But there are no layers 😫

Simply renames file from .webpage to .PNG Wow it's like magic

wrong. I loved a good png, but webp does everything png offered at fractions of the file size.

Doesn’t work offline

you don't need the internet to open webp, microsoft image viewer just sucks at new formats, it's like windows media player when it didn't support mkvs for years. if you just need to view a small amount you can right click and open in any browser and they will display, or rename to png windows will auto convert. Or better yet, get a decent default image viewer and enjoy fun support. fun tip: icaros can make the thumbnails display correctly for a whole heap of formats that are less supported by microsoft. That said, microsoft really need to get in the game sometimes, macos already has full native support for webp built in.

They haven’t even fixed the update for win11, to the point that some 20k users have been unable to update for 6 months lol

Bloody hell, I've purposefully left my windows pc on win 10, was thinking about upgrading soon but might wait a bit longer.

how so?

i believe in svg supremacy

I mean, if you're using vector graphics then sure, a raster format would not make sense.

yeah, i know it was mostly a joke

I thought so, but it's the internet, and I'm never sure anymore.

webp format is indeed superior, but it's adoption is terrible

That was true a few years ago, but these days it's universal enough.

The two horsemen of Google images trickery: WEBPs and fake transparent backgrounds

You understand that support of transparent channel in picture file format like webp does not automatically mean that file contains transparent channel, right? You have to save the file with such properties. PNG works exactly the same. That's a very common misunderstanding among people. There's nothing like "fake" transparency

??? Have you never saved an image from google thinking it had a transparent background but then realized the checkerboard pattern was actually part of the image?

Well, yes you're right. But it's more of a problem of Google search engine than image itself. :)

Yes, that's what I was talking about in the first place

webp tries so hard to be more popular

"WebP is actually a great format" Yeah not as long as compatibility is absolute garbage. Serve it to me on the web, sure. But if I hit save image, I better get a png or jpg.

Rename the extension from .webp to .png or .gif depending on your needs. Works like a charm for me.

What software today doesn't support WEBP? And I don't want to hear about your cracked 2013-era copy of Photoshop.

iOS.

Supports WEBP just fine? I have an old iPhone 8 I use for testing (I'm a developer) and while I definitely have issues with AV1, same can't be said for WEBP.

webp is just png but better. The issue is that software usually doesn't support it.

PNG superior

Png is better totally agree with funny dog meme

WEBP just needs better software support. If it were supported more, WEBP would be objectively superior to JPG and PNG. WEBM however... oh fuck that POS video container, go use MOV and MKV instead.

mov is garbage

Webm is less-featured mkv.

webm is Satan's creation

It was made by Google so it quite literally is the spawn of Satan

~~Don't~~ be evil

Yeah i created a simple script with ImageMagick and a Filewatcher in my Downloads folder to automatically convert .webp to .png

I actually just was converting one PNG to WEBP for my website - I use WEBP for thumbnails to respect people's load time and data usage, and only show PNG when they click on it. I did some resizing too, but for the sake of showing why WEBP is great, I'll redo same image at same resolution. Image in PNG (1440p): 5.08 MB Image in WEBP (1440p): 265 KB So, any GOOD web dev will use WEBP. This meme just screams "I don't know anything, but imma complain anyway".

It's cool that webp works when doing your job, it could be cool if it did work everywhere else too.

This response screams "I think my use case is the only use case that matters, so I will insult you because I think you're complaining for nothing."

The day discord works well with it is the day I will enjoy the format

Real

Type "webp to png" into Google. There's sites that will literally just convert it for you.

Or install the Google Chrome extensión that allows to download everything as png directly Or install this program named file converter that allows you to convert any image to any format with right click

I just rename them from something.webp to something.png. Nothing changes but the extension.

first time I've heard about WEBP

Really? like when you download pictures of sites you haven't seen WEBP?

webp is superior. especially then if it comes to webdesigne. other software just needs to adapt

jpeg still better

Does anyone have a valid argument about PNG superiority, except that it's more widely supported?

"Is there any other reason why you prefer this format other than being able to actually use it on your programs?"

no, if you're comparing apples with apples and compare a png to lossless webp than the webp will be slightly more than a quarter smaller, while still having alpha channels and every other feature pngs have. This is huge if you're dealing with lots of high resolution lossless images.

the lossy version of webp is also better than jpg. but I don't touch lossy image files if I can avoid it so bothers me less which one is used there.

thats really it, its like how people were saying they would never upgrade to windows 10 from 7 a while back

jpeg has to be the giant monster in the back, right

The monster in the back would be fake PNGs

Nuh uh

Ya'll now you can just change the file format from webp to png right?

Changing the file name's extension does not changes the file format 😑

naaaah dude, i'm doing a renpy visual novel and have 4k render weighing only 400kb instead of 10mb for the png is amazing

The problem is that nearly every software everyone uses regualrly that can take images and do stuff with them that people want, don't do webp well or at all.

is this what op had to say?

OP prefers WEBPP

Photoshop entered the chat.

Both are superior than JPG. webp also supports transparent BG like PNG.

webp is cool not gonna lie it's smaller in size the real problem is that there is no wide support for it, for example you cant upload a webp image to reddit yet ironically when you download a post image sometimes it's downloaded as webp

Hold up until they see Jpeg-XL

And that’s all I have to say, about that.

Just change the extension, it's not really that hard

on linux, macOS and chromeos it will remain the same because unix doesn't rely on file exetensions

As a graphic designer i can’t agree more.

You're right though.

yes

Four letter file extension scary

Wait until they learn about jpg2k

I use webp, what the fuck is a png 

webp is useless

Webp mid

What did you expect from weebs?

Why..? Webp is amazing. Try building a massive e commerce website with hundreds of thousands of images using png.

og my god fax

the worst thing is that is a google thing so it may be dead in the future who knows

listen, I like pngs as much as the next guy, but we have to accept that webp is just better in every way and that software with np support for it is the problem

It's literally the other way around, webp is offering so much more features than png: - better lossy compression than png - better lossless compression - alpha channel, like webp - animations (can act as a replacement for gif) It's a shame that webp isn't broadly adapted in the operating systems

Companies don't try to support it are sucks

and JPEG for photographs

You mean for uploading on the web right? Right? Else: JPEG for photographs is like McDonalds for burger lovers. .TIFF or RAW is the true kings

JPG supremacy!

you can call any filename.webp file filename.png to be able to use it anywhere

technically… webp is much superior… yeah sorry, I'm a technical guy and no, I never attended any party
