Files with .webp

Greetings, All! I have found that if I try to use an image file that has the extension/file type *.webp Gimp will not open it because it is an unknown file type. Is there a fix for this that I can apply?

Thank you,

Thank you,

It means that your GIMP build does not contain the requisite plugin for

webp files.

I'd offer you my builds, but you may be told that it's not "official".

Webp is a google format and there may be a GIMP plugin for it.

See Wikipedia on the subject here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP "GIMP[36] and Paint.NET[37] support WebP via plugins."

And what Partha said. Your build might not have the plugin.

WebP is indeed quite a recent format and GIMP does not have official support in the stable 2.8.x versions. Nevertheless support has been recently added in development versions, and the last one of these has been released just today (GIMP 2.9.6): https://www.gimp.org/news/2017/08/24/gimp-2-9-6-released/ If you really need WebP support and are ok with trying a development version (which means it may have expected and unexpected bugs even though many of us actually find it quite stable), then you may give it a try: https://www.gimp.org/news/2017/08/24/gimp-2-9-6-released/

Note that we don't have all the installers for MacOS/Windows yet, but hopefully these should arrive shortly (the Windows one has already been made).
Have fun!

Jehan

Thank you,
