Now that the latest release of WordPress 5.8 offers support for WebP images, it would be great for the Affinity suite of products to do that, too. At the very least as an optimized export option.
WebP has been discussed quite extensively elsewhere in these forums – see attached image – and the bottom line (if I have interpreted things correctly) is that Serif are working on it but have no target date for implementation. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/101342-webp-in-affinity-photo/page/6/&tab=comments#comment-653267
Please do a search of the forums before creating new threads for things that have already been discussed.
