Windows 10: Windows 11 default photos cannot open two files in webp format but with the file name...

Note: The software here uses the "Photos" that comes with Windows 11, not the "Windows Photo Viewer"Replay scene:1. Name the two images in jpg format original1.jpg and original2.jpg, convert them into webp format, and then change the converted file suffix to .jpg, which is target1.jpg and target2.jpg.2.

Windows 'Photos' App Support for .webp Files

Hi calarrick, I'm John D, and I am happy to help you with this.

I understand your frustration with the Windows 'Photos' app not opening ".webp" files, even though it can display them. From what you've described, it seems that 'Photos' can read and interpret the format of the ".webp" file, but it won't recognize it as an image file. Changing the extension to a different format works as a workaround, but that's not an ideal solution for you.

I would recommend checking for updates for the 'Photos' app, as it's possible that there may be a new version that resolves this issue. You could also try resetting the app to its default settings or reinstalling it to see if that helps. If these solutions don't work, using a different application that can open ".webp" files could be an alternative.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

John D.

Windows 10, Outlook 2016 and quick preview for .webp files

I do not known what happen recently but I guess it is related to a windows update.

I was able to quick preview .webp file attachment in outlook 2016, but all of sudden, it is not working anymore.

My file association are now associate with Google Chrome.

I was expecting to see Microsoft Photo in the list of available application to open the .webp files but it not listed.

Any suggestion?

Agreed.

Photos doesn't have full webp support. For example this webp image is animated, but it's static in Photos. Maybe that's why it doesn't yet recognize the webp extension.

Any browser will display that image with animation, as will some third-party viewers, such as ImageEye.

The issue with Photos is just something to report via Feedback Hub (press ⊞-F in Windows) and hope someday Microsoft adds full webp support.
