WEBP file images

WEBP is the new picture format that offers better compression for web-sites. But for those of us who want to save images in higher quality, or if our favorite picture program doesn't support WEBP-files . . . is there a way to get around this and save the images as jpg-files?

You would have to save the file then open it in “paint” on a Windows based machine , “preview” or adobe photoshop on a Mac . Then export it as a JPEG. It will however not be of higher quality as the programs can not generate pixels that are not there from the source file. The other alternative that I would not recommend are the dodgy online converters.

spandex party supports webp and jpeg. webp is slightly better in terms of compression that saves the platform hundreds of € in a year 😅 not even joking. but it's not supported on a few browsers like safari. so we also have a fallback to the jpeg format. if you open up the image URL and replace ".webp" with ".jpeg" then you should get the other format as well.
