[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago (3 children) Alright, I have to finally ask. What the heck is a .webp file? And why are half the images on lemmy that type of file? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Nintendo@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) it's an image file format that's a bit more space efficient with similar imagine quality. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) You rock, thank you. I just looked it up (which I should have done in the first place). Seems good. My problem is I can't share the webp memes via text lol.

It's supported by browsers and just about nothing else, so you'll need to manually convert it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Much appreciated, thank you permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) The Liftoff app has a setting to automatically convert .webp to .png. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago Oh that's good to know, thank you my friend permalink fedilink source parent [–] Emerald@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/ It's a new image format that competes with JPEG and PNG. The image on this post is not a webp, it is a jpeg. The reason you see it as a webp file is because many web browsers convert jpeg's and png's to webm automatically. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Interesting. Thank you. So my main concern now would then be how do I get my sms to recognize it so I can continue trading memes? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Emerald@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) If your SMS app doesn't support webp, there is nothing you can do about it. You could switch SMS apps or switch browsers or change your browser settings. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago Sounds good, thanks! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Agentseed@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago it's a more optimized image file that lots of websites use, serving requires less bandwidth permalink fedilink source parent
