alt Hacker NewsGreat, so I can download it, but then I have to convert it to a different format before half my apps will be able to use it.

Everything I've tried supports WebPs. It took Adobe a while but even Photoshop supports the format these days.
Hell, for some software features (like stickers in some chat apps), WebP is mandatory.
HEIFF files, on the other hand...
I was about to write that Slack doesn't support webp but I just tested it and it does. For years I have been typing "convert file.webp file.jpg" and then posting that in slack but it looks like they have added support.
Or convert before you upload because the image host has delusions about fighting the Google monoculture by refusing WebP support. Even more of a head scratcher when WebM is their only video format.
Blame Adobe. For what they charge for Creative Suite it ought to have supported it a long time ago.
My webcrawler sucks down a lot of WebP images, at least it did before it got the smackdown from Cloudflare.
