Adding WebP image support to your Windows 11 system is pretty straightforward. Here are a few easy ways to get it done:
1. Use the Photos App
The built-in Photos app on Windows 11 supports WebP files. Just make sure your Photos app is up to date, and you should be good to go!
2. Install the WebP Image Extension
Head over to the Microsoft Store and download the WebP Image Extension. This will enable WebP support in various apps across your system.
3. Open with Paint
Good old Paint, which comes pre-installed on Windows 11, can open WebP images too. Just right-click your WebP file, choose “Open with,” and select Paint.
4. Convert the File
If you prefer, you can simply rename the file extension from .webp to .jpg or .png. This trick lets you open the image with any app that supports JPG or PNG formats.
5. Use a Web Browser
Most modern web browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Opera support WebP files. Just drag and drop the WebP file into a browser tab to view it.
