I know it works on Windows and Chrome OS. You just simply type “.png” at the end and it will let you upload it. I don't know about Mac or Linux, or mobile devices.

But even then, you can probably just paste/upload the webp file into a paint editor or online converter and then save it as a png.

doesn’t work on mobile devices, at least iOS
you'd have to use an online converter

I can get plenty of file extension conversions to work on iOS/iPadOS, albeit you have to save the image to your files (not photos) and turn on “show all file extensions”, but it does work.

I would try that now, but I don't have an iOS or iPadOS device with me at the moment.

I can’t upload webp files, so should we have scratch support them for once?
If you say “no support”, I’m fine with that.
I’m not asking for support.
Thank you!

You can just remake the file end to PNG or JPG/JPEG (is there a difference?)
So there's really no point in creating support.

as mentioned, for images, you can just rename the file and manually change the filename extension to png, so don’t really see why it can’t be added.

However, sometimes, WEBP images may be animated or use a format not compatible with JPEG or PNG, so renaming it will corrupt it, which leaves the only choice being the use of sketchy converter sites to change it to a format that is supported by Scratch, which is something that seems needlessly complicated.

Its not that hard to convert webp images to pngs if your on a chromebook just remame the file from “Balling.webp to Balling.png”

I'm a teacher and my kids often want to upload custom sprites. I cannot express how hard it is to get them to understand that they can't just change the file extension from webp to jpg and have it work. Webp is literally everywhere now, it seems to be the most used file format on the internet. Scratch is for kids; I don't want them to be using sketchy conversion sites or having to struggle with converting an image. Plus, they are all using Chromebooks, which means we can't use local apps to convert them, like paint or photoviewer. Please support this! I hate webp as much as the next, but I'm not going to expect a student to jump through the same hoops I do to convert files.

Thank you for your time.
