Webp is honestly a really good format for what its made to do. That being said, windows support for it is lacking for some reason. I don’t know why as it’s been common for a long time now.
Also, you can always use ffmpeg to convert to png or jpg or whatever you want. Simple file conversions like that are super easy.
I’m not familiar, but it does look useful. Seems to combine the best of both png and jpg, with the power of jpg’s compression with the option of lossless compression + support for transparency or whatever else you might want to have a channel for
It’s fucking awesome. I can losslessly convert a .jpg to a .jxl and back to a .jpg. The only problem is support in browsers and other software. .webp and .avif are fine for the most part but they seem to get all of the attention and support when .jxl is better in most ways and is a future proofed format.
Webp is just a file format like jpg, or png or anything else. You can implement support for it in a native app just the same as any other format.
What certainly IS true is that browsers supported it first (because distributing media on the web is what it was designed for as a format) and a lot of native image viewer apps are still lagging behind on their support.
I know a bunch about computers and that doesn’t add up to me either!! I hate the webp format.

.jxl is better though

Same goes for webp, it even supports video/“gifs”.
It means explorer is running in a web view
It doesn’t necessarily.
