@@MrFiver1111 I too though it would be jfif. But webp is also another. Worst part about jfif is it likes to mascarade around as if it is jpeg until its on your PC.
@@jorgeparrales7108 Sadly this is an improper format change for some applications and or websites. The best example is Fandom (or as it was known, Wikia). Whenever you upload a file that you saved as a different one, or simply renamed its extension, it will recognize the original format and will NOT let you upload it as the desired format you wanted/set it to. So now you have to set it back to .webp and go through a converter program or convert it online for it to be a """real""" .png file. Speaking from experience, this is painful as fuck.
@@diztingerIt's a media format made by Google with the intent of being multipurpose. It supports both transparency (like .png) and animations (like .gif). Because it is newer than the other more common media formats, you might run into the issue of not being able to use/view the file after downloading it from somewhere.
@@chileshems88 actually the opposite. It's BSD so its open without issues. Lots of convertors will convert it and I'm shocked more desktop apps don't support it yet. Esp as it was released over 13 years ago.
@@EvilKimau i saw somewhere that despite the standard being released 13 years ago, google only released the library libwebp relatively recently. not sure how accurate this is, though.
For people who is too curious about it, webp is an image extension that is developed by google since 2010, it supposed to replace png because of how compressed it is about -26% it's file size compare to png without losing it's quality. It can also shrink down a 10mb GIF to a 1-2mb file without losing too much quality. The only problem is they didn't give much support that's why it hasn't been used much.
webp should really be better supported, the compression is so much better than png but everyone just talks about how it doesn't work in most programs ;w;
@@skmgeek I mean that is a HUGE downside, though, it could be a 99% size decrease with the same quality but if you can’t use it for anything you might just as well not gotten it at all.
@@Lh0000 it's only a downside if you plan on using the files in programs that don't support the files. it can be quite a benefit to use a file with better compression in your _own_ programs, however! working with scripts that need to store thousands of 100 mb sized lossless images is a lot more space efficient when the images can each be 26% smaller than the normal file for them allows lol
@@skmgeek but that’s the thing… most people download files so they can use them for something. So not being compatible with like, 90% of the things you’d want to use a saved picture for is a deal breaker
Also since to my knowledge it’s image compression, that means you can’t really use it for actual programming stuff where the smaller size would be useful outside of the above
0:31 " TIP: changing the "webp"to".jpg" or ".png" on the file name works sometimes but they're not guaranteed. I personally use-a-browser extension that can convert webp's into png. They're not perfect but it's better than converting the image online. webp's are still annoying and made by the devil "
Tip for anyone having this issue themselves: There’s a browser plug-in known as ‘Save Image As Type’ which adds an option that lets you select the format you want your image to be exported as.
When you download a image but it comes out blurry so you have to spend several minutes trying to figure out how to fix it or continue your already taxing witch-hunt for another higher quality image
Simultaneously, when the proportions of the image are just wild af. Like sometimes you use the image on the doc and find out that for some god damn reason the image was much larger than the doc and you spend 3 whole minutes battling to time resize it to fit. Worse is the opposite because you know damn well that it will end up just like your example, but you still try anyway because you hope that it can still be salvaged
Got my way around it, just upscale the image and it looks fine. Not the jagged block of a mess that was PS1 resolution, but those actual lines and delicious curves we all love. Just found out an app that suits me great, sure it wasn't the best way to do it, but it sure is hella beat the pixelated .webp files any day.
With appropriate settings applied, JPG can produce nearly lossless results while maintaining an exceedingly low file size. Just because a newer format may function slightly better, doesn't mean everyone wants to invest the time into updating all their software to be compatible with it. Even if they should. What we end up seeing is halfway implementation everywhere, and from the user's standpoint, that may be worse than no implementation at all.
@@Cantersoft Which is why modern and common applications should definitely work to incorporate that support. If we all dropped a better format because "weh too hard", we'd not have anything today.
@@pizza-pi +this. HEIF is a new format, but it gives like 30-40% file size reduction, compared to JPEG of the same quality. But to send it, phones just converting before sending and pc apps mostly don't support it. (After some reading, it seems like that format not fully free so i guess that's the reason why we can't have nice things)
@@vadnegru I'm not too knowledgeable about that particular format (HEIF) but I have heard it or something of its sort should become a new standard. I can only say that as a web developer, I greatly reduced my file sizes (supporting artists no less) by switching to webp. There was a slight quality drop from PNG in my personal conversion settings but the storage difference is irresistible and all were happy with the result so win-win.
@@gugvdcftdv2039 Nah man, I haven't read it, actually, I am not even sure what its story is and I don't want to know it because I have an idea about what it's like, and let me be honest, I can't handle disturbing and depressing things so I am fine not knowing it or reading it
Your art and your humor inspire me just the same at this point! Keep it up (in a manner that is good for your mental health and well-being) and thank you for all the laughs and knowledge!
As someone whose been learning drawing skills recently and has been downloading tons of pics for figure/clothing references, this is extremely relevant to me.
no one mention Photoshop?? i usually have headache with this stupid format too, but Photoshop 2022 and 2023 can open it now. so it's just long forgotten pain
.webp's are at least somewhat supported and you can tell what it is by just looking at the file name. sometimes i'll encounter file formats like .jfif, jpg_large/small or any file type that SEEMS normal or look similar to existing file types, only for them to not work and having to convert them
I figured jpg_large/small was just a dumb extension twitter used to differentiate between thumbnails and full size images. I normally just change the extension to jpg and it's fine. I'm pretty sure the same works with jfif but it's probably slightly different from jpg.
You can get rid of jfifs by going to your pc's registry (regedit) and changing the value of a specific key. Search it up. It's easy. And I deal with jpg_large by just deleting the "_large" from the file name when saving. What I hate about webp is that you never know when to expect it. At least I know what websites use jpg_large, but saving images from multiple websites is like playing Russian roulette with webps instead of bullets.
What I did this is just copy the image, paste it in either Microsoft Paint or Photoshop if you want to adjust. Then save it. Screenshot is the quickest one but I prefer this way.
I saw the pattern on the side of the monitor and actively decided not to think about it, hoping it was just some random collection of holes. Thank you for shattering my self-made illusion of safety.
Hello, 2023 anime goblin girl here. Webp and Webm now is useable by MOST programs. But because of that the creator of the most evil things the internet has to offer decided not enough so now we have AVIFs. A picture format so useless my virus protector assumed it was a virus file at first. Nothing runs it and even the very programs its ment to be used in glitches and dies trying to decode it.
The method I use to "convert" is simply opening ms paint, rmb and copy image, paste on ms paint, ctrl + shift + x (it crops the canvas to the image size if not yet cropped to its size), then save image as .jpg or .png, it's a little hassle method, but it doesn't bother me to exert that effort.
Fun hack for everybody, Krita can actually use webps and can allow you to turn them into superior formats, so even if you don't use it for art it's great for that purpose
supports lossless images like png, while being roughly 25% smaller, and lossy images like jpg while being also roughly 25% smaller AND supporting transparency. still there are formats like AVIF and JPEG XL which are even better than it but still havent gained much traction yet
additional tip: those who misses out frame texts in vids, on pc when paused, < > buttons are used for prev next frames. and there is universal speed slowing down also.. but frame seeking helps kinda better. cheers!
Oh and VTuber fans would recognise the character: That’s Ninomae Ina’nis from Hololive English. Takodachis have been running dry during the past few days and has gotten… You know.
Here's a tip: When it says webp there, change it to png. This makes it save as a png if your file explorer settings allow you to change extensions inside the rename function.
Mac: builds in a handful of useful features into a godawful OS. Windows: Can be easily modified to emulate those same features with a better OS. Linux: Good luck, champ.
Most of the time you have to not only manually change extension to .jpg but also check the dropdown select screen to * if it doesn't hold the desired option of extension
Another tip for converting WEBPs is: if you want to put it into a program that doesn't support it even if you change it to .png or .jpg (like MS Word for example), then you can put it in a program that DOES support it when changed (MS Paint 3D) and resave the image as a png or jpg via that program. That way you've technically created a whole new file, which this time is FULLY a png or jpg. ...You might have to make some minor change to the image in order for it to save as a new thing, not sure, never tested that... but if you do then you can probably just make the change and undo it and get the same effect? Anyway yeah my point here is just that you can use other programs to convert WEBPs that way. If you find an AVIF though... near as I can tell, you're just screwed.
You can definitely convert webp and other formats into jpg or png using online image converter. Or any good drawing/photoediting program for that matter.
You can copy the image with right click, then paste it into paint and save it as a png from there. If you need transparency I think you can use paint 3d and set the canvas to transparent.
For those who genuinely don’t know what to do when this happens: stamp/rsist + open paint + ctrl V helps if desperate, basically you get a screenshot of what's on screen. Otherwise when “saving as” press “all formats” and type the format you want after the period.
depending on what I use it for I either use a converter(if I need the image to retain its resolution) otherwise I just clip it with the snipping tool and save it as a png/jpg(gotta open the image on a new tab first in case its bigger than what I find it as)
Helpful fact I found out a bit ago: If you open the image link of a webp file and put ‘&format=original’ at the end of the URL, it’ll well… give you the original format, usually your classic png or jpeg! it’s a life saver :>
love using GIMP to do it too, it is pretty efficient in exporting WEBP to a more program friendly format. although i will say WEBP isn't necessarily the problem, it is that for some reason most programs don't use it when they should as it is a very efficient image format
@@sedvctivdekes4484 For the character, Ninomae Ina’nis from Hololive English, for the story and reference, it’s Metamorphosis. Pretty saddening story, I should say.
this is when we have to rely on the fallback option of the snipping tool or going to the website itself but hey finding the person who made webp for totally very much 100% polite purposes is also good 💀
webp isn't necessarily the most annoying img format it can be renamed and at least it works fine most of the time (even works with song that has .webp as the file extension). in my opinion, its either the browser only extension like .avif or just the corrupted image that you can't fix no matter how.
If the file extension is webp, yes you can rename. If the file format is webp, nope doesn't work (can still preview but PS won't recognize it). In this case you have to convert it. Google invented webp btw, and they gives free code to convert webp in batch.
