is it a formatting step that an image goes through when uploaded? I'm tired of converting image after image back into jpg, so if there's like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp, it would help to know

The jpg format is like 30 years old. Newer formats like jxl, webp, and avif offer much better compression. Right now it looks like webp is the most compatible with browsers so far.

I hate the format. Synology photos regularly skips them on backup

You should hate Synology then. Seriously, the format is the best (from technical point of view) widespread image format. You should complain at your software vendor that in the 13 years it has existed, they haven't had time to implement support. Especially for paid products, like Synology stuff.

I thought webp was just a container format?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No, it's an image compression format derived from the VP8 codec.

How do you got to that number? Did some kind of survey or something?
