Tech Support -- webp images

[EstimPaul]

Hello,

I seems that the editor cannot handle webp-images. I have no idea what is behind these webteases, but since at the end they are played in a webbrowser, and these can handle webp since longtime, I cannot see the technical obstruction. Could this be added / updated ?? Cheers

hmm, some reads, but no answer? Maybe webp is too "new". But I figured the same problem happens for GIF's. And that is a data format from 1987 ....

So I presume there is an "accepted input format" filter, probably in some PHP code of the upload webpage - easy to find if one has access rights. Would I deserve at least an answer from the tech support team on that ?

Only Jpg work... but at the moment its not possible to upload anything ....
GIFs don't work, but there is a workaround to implement short animated pictures. If you want I can send you the thread .

Thanks for the answer. I checked out that there is a problem right now, and I am interested on "animated jpeg". Thanks for offering!


That said, I strongly suggest to reconsider webp. For the server, it's the same: it delivers some binary data to a browser. So the only real limit is size, not the exact encoding of images. I admit that "open bar" is bad as well, for security reasons, but there is a large spectrum between "jpg only" and "open bar".
