Can someone please tell me where to download a plug in for Elements 2024 that will open webp images?

Also, once I download it, what folder should it be put in to be recognized by PS Elements?

thank you!

Where it says Plugins below the CS6 folder there should be a Elements 24 folder to put the WebPShop.plugin in.

If it isn't there it's likely that you haven't installed the Camera Raw plugin, by going to Help>Install Camera Raw from within the Photoshop Elements 2024 Editor.

After you get the WebPShop.plugin in the Elements 24 folder you'll probably need to Notarize the plugin by following the directions here by TheDigitalDog

Thanks Jeff, it finally worked! I didn't have to notarize it by going into terminal, there is a way to bypass the apple security feature by going into Settings> Security and Privacy> and clicking the "Allow anyway " button to say that its ok to open it despite the warning. Here's a dumb question, why would google create an image file format (Webp) that takes this amount of research and effort to open in industry standard image editing programs?? And why wouldn't Elements include the plug in in the 2024 software?? thanks for your help 🙂
