Support for webp files

busybuddie1234

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!

Is webp a webpage? If so, I don't think Scratch should support that, as the content should be made on Scratch.

Webp is an image format developed by google.

Support, because some images online are now WebP.

definitely support. i sometimes download images and have to convert them to pngs or jpgs just so scratch allows them. it’s not the most annoying thing, but it would make life so much easier.

Bump, Google images are literally all webp. Weird.

Bump.

Support, I know when you download a webp file you can just make it png or something, but this would make it more easier.

It’s a format, there’s this one website that converts it to that, and there is a view original button to get the original format, but it’s annoying when you forget to click that or you realize that the file itself is in that format so even if you click view original it doesn’t work.

support, when I like 8 y/o and I was using scratch, I kept downloading the same image over and over and over again because when I try to upload it, it doesn't show and I thought it was a bug but I didn't notice that the image was a webp. So then when I opened the file editor, I had like 17 of the same image… This could definitely clear some confusion among people who are not that good at computers.

Webp is hiding everywhere. You can never truly be sure if a file is webp. Even images that end with “.png” can be a webp file (I'm not lying, this has happened to me).

Massive support. I hate having to convert webp files to png files.

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”

Support for the reasons stated above, however, in the meantime, we can still use Zamzar.

What are the downsides to supporting webp?

Probably none but its not really that hard to convert an image to a png just put the webp image in and then you get the png that you need, super simple
