It hardly seems fair to reject the format simply because Apple hasn't added support for it to their image viewer. At least here my desktop environment happily displayed the saved image with its built-in image viewer (Gwenview).

I'll admit that support for the format isn't perfect, but at least in your case it can be remedied pretty easily with a quick search [1]. That said, format adoption has to start somewhere. It'd be pretty sad if we were still using GIFs for all of our lossless images because PNGs were never allowed to catch on before they could become universally supported.

Thats odd, I have Gwenview 4.14.2 and qt 4.8.6, and webp doesn't resolve properly. Rekonq can't open it either, but Kolourpaint can and Krita cannot.

Is webp added in qt5?
