FEATURE: WEBP Image Format?

[Nancy OShea]

Does Adobe Express have plans to support WEBP images?  I could find no mention of it in the Express User Guide or FAQ.

For those who don't know, WEBP has been around for a while.  It's a preferred image file format that supports lossy & lossless compression as well as alpha transparency and animation.   The image quality is better and file size is smaller than a comparable PNG or JPG.

You can upload a .webp image into an Adobe Express Post or Web Page project, but not a Video project.

I haven't seen any news about .webp being a format for downloading a Post project, though.

Do you know if Express supports animated WebP?

And then there's this app?

Nope, I just tried, and it came up with an error saying it doesn't support that file type?

Yep, I'm getting the same message now when I test it. It may have been a change they made when they updated Adobe Express.

Yeah, I just tried to add webp to a presentation and that worked. 🤷‍:female_sign: so I guess a bug in the webpage side.
