Support WebP in Photoshop Export As

Man, i can't believe such a simple feature is not yet added to Photoshop but so many new AI tools keep getting added. 

common adobe, please add webp as a export as format.

The focus of InDesign is for print, not web, so that makes sense to me. That being said though, the product developers for InDesign continue to use UserVoice to track feature requests. You can make the request here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

@Stephen Marsh thats a good point too, really WebP needs placement in all export options that follow the web export process. Using SaveAs is not ideal, and WebP isn't avaliable at all in InDesign either.

On a related note, one can upvote the idea/request to add a preview and expected file size for the Save As WebP here:

You've missed all of the lengthy discussion around Export, web formats, Adobe development, etc. People aren't "moving away from Adobe." Just look at their financials - huge profits. :eyeroll:

Been over a year and still not been added. This si why people are moving away from the Adobe eco-system. Really need to listen to what your customers want.

Much needed. The current method of exporting to webp is insufficient since it misses resize and preview for both quality and the resulting file size. 

@TheRealMrG – I have added my vote.

With WebP Save/Save As/Save As a Copy being supported by actions and scripts, at least one isn't totally out of options. The only other alternative is to use Export As to say PNG, then perform a batch conversion to WebP.
