Part 7/10:
Recent years have seen a dramatic shift. Modern operating systems and applications now support WebP natively or through updates. Windows 10 and later versions can generate and display thumbnails of WebP images, and popular photo editing software like Photoshop has added support. On mobile, both iOS and Android platforms have integrated WebP support into their native galleries and apps like Google Photos.
This universal support means that the old complaint—about having to convert WebP images before use—is now largely obsolete. WebP files can be opened, edited, and shared across most major platforms without additional steps. Animated WebP images, while still less supported outside browsers, are gradually gaining acceptance in various media tools.
