Dear @firefox : Please stop saving images as webp when I drag them out of the browser. Forever stop that. Even if they are webp originally, just give me a setting to auto-convert them to JPEG. When I get a webp file the first thing I have to do is convert it manually if I’m going to do *anything* with it.

      Exactly, great quality and small file sizes. Perfect to reduce web bloat, or loading times when using things like FoundryVTT

      Too bad so many platforms are not compatible with it. I am constantly having to convert the image type to post the image.

        Try changing the file extension. Often the extension is checked but not if the file format matches the extension. All browsers read WebP just fine.

      Not really. It is better than shitty JPEG encoders but not really much better than good ones. It’s lossless was fairly good but still barely worth it. Really we should chuck it for JPEG XL but Google is strong-arming it for unknown reasons.
