WPV (Win Photo Viewer) can't recognize the "webp" format correctly, it can't determine its colour profile. Whenever you open a "webp" image with WPV it has no assigned colour profile. Google (Picasa) is a webp's parent! Picasa knows its native image format (webp) and assigns the correct colour profile to it (usually sRGB). The image is darker because it has no colour profile assigned to it (in WPV). Save it as a JPG (in a photo editor app like th new Paint), and it would be normal in WPV.
Every time I want to edit an image (saved from 11F) and re-upload it to the forum, I have a problem. It saves images as PNG and doesn't open in photo editors like Ps (cause its original format is webp, and PNG is just a name at the end of it!). We have to save it again as webp or jpg... and open it in Ps. Or change its extension to webp while saving from the webpage, to be recognizable in Ps.The forum software doesn't support the upload yet, but there is pretty much universal modern browser support, so I've been swapping out site graphics from PNGs to the much smaller webp for a while now wherever I can get away with it.
That will be due to the on-the-fly webp conversion of suitable images by our CDN provider for faster page loads.Every time I want to edit an image (saved from 11F) and re-upload it to the forum, I have a problem.

Same images (one saved as its original format, another one saved as webp) from 11F
Honestly, I don't care what you think of the image quality and if you need to convert it, it's all about page load speed and if I think they look good enough for their purpose - which I do.Do you mean double convert?! If yes, I think it is not worth it! I have seen Mr Brink's tutorial images which have awful quality (even worse than JPG).

and it works with webp images as well as .jpg etc.
I've been moving over to using webp from PNG files recently, I use IrfanView (with plugins) as my image viewer, and it handles everything.
Simply rename the file extension from .webp to .jpg for each file. No file conversion is needed, they become regular .jpg files that can be opened with any program that supports standard .jpg files like normal.
Change the extension to JPG, then open it with the Photos app (or Snipping Tool) and Save it as JPG again!
Have a look at this one:
Open WEBP formatted files in PHOTOS
Hi Alibi. In your post you refer to Win10. Remember I have Win11www.elevenforum.com
It's just a simple little trick that works most of the time (for pictures anyway). It's also a fairly popular "conversion" method, as you can just batch rename multiple files at once, and, if it turns out that the pic(s) get(s) darkened as a result from this, then you can still open the webp file(s) in MS Paint and save it/them as .jpg to work around that problem. I don't download webp files that often anyway, but if you do, then I can understand that you probably need a better solution.Changing the extension will also change the file. How is that possible ?
I had expected they will become webp files with the incorrect extension.
