Google Drive Does Not Support WebP

Text on the meme

WebP 28 languages Article Talk Read Edit View history Tools From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google intended as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, as well as animation and alpha transparency. Google announced the WebP format in September 2010, and released the first stable version of its supporting library in April 2018. History WebP was first announced by Google on 30 September 2010 as a new open format for lossy compressed true-color graphics on the web, producing files that were smaller than JPEG files for comparable image quality. It was based on technology which Google had acquired with the purchase of On2 Technologies. As a derivative of the VP8 video format, it is a sister project to the WebM multimedia container format. WebP-related software was released under a BSD free-software license.

Diamond Product Expert Jun 5, 2023 Hi, Google Drive currently doesn't support the storage of Webp files you would need to convert the file to PNG format in order upload it to Drive. Volunteering in the forums since 2013. Not a Google employee.

What it means

The image combines a Wikipedia explanation of the WebP image format with a Google Drive support thread about a missing uploaded .webp file. The punchline is the highlighted reply claiming that Google Drive does not support storing WebP files, so the user should convert the image to PNG before uploading it, creating an absurdly ironic situation because WebP was developed by Google.
