It’s converted to webp once uploaded on Lemmy. The BE supports it, but not every Lemmy instance is set up this way (though most are).

At least in jerboa when I download the image it gets saved as PNG. It could be that the web ui shows images as webp by default to make it faster or save resources

Image downloaded as a webp. Encountered issue on firefox’s mobile app.

webp is just a container for the png, you can “save as…” and change it to png, and it should work.
it works for more than this png; most of the time I have to do it, it’s when the webp holds a jpg

How do you find out which it is? Trial and error?

If you are using a web browser that supports webp, it can potentially improve load times by a lot, as webp is much more space/bandwidth efficient. I’m assuming this is why the instances are auto converting from other formats.
