The first impressions were also positive: the files were all opened and displayed correctly, but unfortunately something went wrong every time during the export and strange artefacts appeared in some parts of the image. The first round of googling brought me to a free app called " XnConvert", which can be found in the Mac App Store. 1st possibility: XnConvert - does not work You could do it here switch off the gatekeeper of the Mac with terminal commands, but I try to avoid interfering with the security settings of macOS as much as possible and have therefore started looking for other options. My WebP plugin for Photoshop is slowed down by the security mechanisms of macOS Catalina. Unfortunately, the plugin became unusable after switching to Catalina, because I now only get a message that the "ugin" plugin does not come from a verified developer and therefore cannot be opened. At the time of Mojave, I once installed a Photoshop plug-in that enables the import of WebP files (see here ). I now had to get the files in a format that I can open in Photoshop. In this post, you will learn how to open, modify, and convert image files in WebP format with your Mac. Quicklook also seems to be able to handle the files (at least for me). This of course understands the image format and displays the graphics accordingly. If you just want to take a quick look at a WebP file, you can also use the Google Chrome browser. It didn't look any better in the second email from my customer. In Apple Mail, WebP files look like they are broken image files. Consequently, my Apple Mail crashed less than 5 seconds later - probably because it was so shocked to discover "WebP" files. When I then looked at the attachments with the paperclip symbol in Apple Mail, I saw the file extension "webp" and it was already clear to me: this is the reason for the display problems. I asked the customer to send me the files again, but the second mail looked the same. I only knew that from broken JPEG photos. In the first email I thought the files were defective because the images were not displayed in Apple Mail and only strange placeholders with question marks were visible in the mail. Yesterday I received a batch of pictures from a customer that I was supposed to exchange on her website. 8 Conclusion: GraphicConverter is the Swiss Army Knife for image conversion.7 Small bug: transparent images are reduced to the background level.

6 2nd possibility: GraphicConverter - a direct hit.5 1st possibility: XnConvert - does not work.4 Modify and convert WebP files on your Mac.3 Quick help: WebP ad with Google Chrome.
