Ever since I updated photoshop 2024 to 2025, I cant seem to save my files as webp anymore. this used to be a feature, im wondering if this has been removed or if its a bug. Anyone else experiencing this issue with 2025 version?

if someone knows how to still save as webp in the 2025 version without a plugin or converters let me know!

The file I was trying to save as webp was in CMYK, I didnt know webp doesnt support this, maybe this helps someone else too that has saving issues, just change the file to RGB.

You should curtail yourself in general for using webp at all ^^

So I thought I was having an issue, but then remebered that it wont ask you till you are out saving it... File>Save for the web> Save then what you see in my screen shot.

@scotty.mazariegos - Save for Web (Legacy) predates WebP format, the last time that I looked, Adobe hadn't added it.

Thanks for confirming the cause of your issue. Webp, as its name suggests, was designed for images displayed online and viewed onscreen. Hence it is designed around RGB images.

Indeed, a shame it isnt converted automatically when you try to save it as webp though.

WebP is still available in Photoshop CC 2025:

I found how to get to it. Click one Photoshop>preferences> click the box to enable developer mode. It'll add that in the drop-down list from save a copy. Keep in mind that this is only for websites/online use, not for printing. This setting switches it to RBG.
