What Happened to the WebP Format?

I tried to convert some images to WebP, but I didn't see that option anymore. Instead, I noticed an option for WBMP. Is WBMP the new version of WebP?

Nope, WBMP isn't a replacement for WebP. It's actually an older mobile image format. WebP is still around! You might just be looking in the wrong converter.

If you can't find WebP in your converter, it could be that some software dropped support for it. If you download FFmpeg, it still supports WebP conversion without a hitch!
