AFAIK Windows has supported WebP since Windows 10 1809.
MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
In what capacity? Because the Photos app does not. Hence ‘barely’.

The built-in APIs for handling images (GDI+) added WebP support in 1809. This is mentioned in the the documentation for the drawing library in C#/.NET, which is a wrapper around GDI+: …microsoft.com/…/system.drawing.imaging.imageform…
I haven’t tried it in the Photos app (and don’t have a Windows system handy right now to try it out), but I know it works for sure in Paint, which uses GDI+ for image encoding/decoding.

The end user doesn’t work with Windows API. The end user works with web sites and apps, which are rarely native these days. And there you’re often limited to png/jpg for uploads.
