why do they even exist?

There's an extension that allows you to save anything as a PNG. Really useful stuff.

what is it called?

"Save Image As PNG"

Seriously. That's what it's called.

ok thank you

real

Better compression (tldr faster load time) and less quality loss. That, and WebPs can be animated.
PNGs are more for infographics, insane detail images, yadayada.

less platforms support webp

I'm talking in the context of on a general webpage; not about it being supported on a site or not (that's a UX perspective by technicality, allowing users to upload it or not as media).

That's the reason it exists; better compression at the coss of less quality loss while being animatable.

What is yadayada?

think of it as an alternative for etcetera.

So true, especially in fandom

what's worse than a WEbP? HTML FILES!!!

I actually know how to get around this without extensions. When you go to save the image, go to the bar that says WEBP, scroll down to All Files, and add .png to the end of the file name.

Jon , the files are here

On the toilet

You can change it to "gif" in your files
