what’s wrong with webp? it’s a significantly more efficient file format (like 20% less space for the same quality) and is supported everywhere by now.

Lots of platforms, even image editing don’t support webp

  I haven’t come across a single image or video editor that doesn’t support webp. I use paint.net, krita, aseprite, inkscape, opentoonz, and davinci resolve, they all support importing/exporting and editing webp just fine. I’m pretty sure GIMP and Photoshop do too but I don’t use them so I can’t say for sure

    you can just manually change the extension to “.jpeg” or “.png” and Windows/Linux/Android file managers will automatically convert it
    
    Thank you for the suggestion, but that's not how it works. Changing a file's extension doesn't change the file type; it just changes the name.

    When I take an image file and change its extension it converts the binary data, so I imagine your OS’ default file manager would do that too.

Surprisingly not everywhere yet, some messaging apps don’t support webp yet
