Chances are really good that you did not install things correctly, which for most users means you didn't put the 8bi file in the correct spot.

Just below: the location where you put the 8bi file discussed in step 3.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2025\Plug-Ins

To use .webp files in Photoshop Elements, you must install the WebPShop plugin because Elements does not natively support the format. After installing the plugin into the Plug-Ins folder of your Photoshop Elements installation, you can open, edit, and save .webp images like any other file type.

Installation steps

Download the plugin: Find and download the WebPShop plugin (a .8bi file) from a trusted source like Google's WebPShop page or GitHub.
Locate the Plug-Ins folder: Find the Plug-Ins folder within your Photoshop Elements installation directory.
- Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements [Version]\Plug-Ins\
- macOS: Applications >> Photoshop Elements [Version] >> Support Files >> Plug-Ins
Copy the plugin: Copy the downloaded .8bi file into the Plug-Ins folder you located in the previous step.
Restart Photoshop Elements: Close and reopen the application to load the new plugin.
