WebP Browser Support
WebP support is no longer exotic on the public web. Friction remains in desktop editors, printers, and locked-down corporate environments — that is when conversion CTAs matter.
Quick take: WebP is supported in all modern evergreen browsers. Convert to JPG/PNG only for legacy apps, email clients, and old enterprise browsers.
Browsers
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari (modern) display WebP, including lossy, lossless, and alpha in common cases.
Outside browsers
OS viewers and office apps lag — see How to open WEBP.
