Every webp image I've wanted to save I just renamed the extension to png and it works fine.
Renaming an extension does not actually modify the contents of the file. Some software that supports webp may look at the contents and recognize it as webp and load it. But that’s not all software.
It’s a bad practice to do that. It’s like changing a .docx to .pdf and expecting it to be fine.
This doesn't always work unfortunately.
It's a workaround but doesn't work if you try to open the image in Photoshop to edit it without the webp plugin.
Photoshop supports it atm, not sure how recent it was added
Ah I don't have the recent cloud, I'm a version or two behind. I've always needed a plugin for webp images
