Hello @AntonioTheAnt,

 

Thanks for reaching out! What you’re experiencing is most likely related to file association settings on your Mac. While Photoshop can open .webp files through the File > Open method, macOS may not yet be set to use Photoshop as the default app for double-clicking .webp files.

 

To make Photoshop the permanent default for opening .webp files, you can refer to the official Apple guide here: https://adobe.ly/448LeOI

Once this is done, double-click on any .webp file, which should open directly in Photoshop.

 

Feel free to let us know if this fixes the issue or if you need any more help!

 

Best regards,
