Question. WebP, will there be an export?

[Max N]

Will it be possible to save/export to WebP format? While you have to use third-party software for conversion.

Questions like that won't have any meaningful answers. If you want a function, you can post a Feature Request or (better) agree with an existing one.

But only Serif knows what they're planning for the future, and they won't say.

Assume that it will never happen and make your own arrangement. If it does it will be a bonus and you can forget the following.
I use ImageWorsener from
https://entropymine.com/imageworsener/
with a bat file.
Create a folder with the bat file and imagew.exe so there are no path issues; lazy but it works
Highlight your source files, I use 100% quality jpegs, and drag/drop onto the bat file
I attach a sample bat file, it can be edited so that the original files are deleted
If you don't use Windows then my comments are worthless, hint - always mention your operating system. Good luck

My hint would be, look into the OP's signature, which tells (as yours) that he too runs a Win platform, though a slighly newer one. 😉

Ha ha, I picked the message up on the mobile which doesn't show signatures. I should've checked 😞

I am using Gimp and the Bimp plugin.

It turns out a batch processing manager, with the ability to resize and do a lot more. Quite a working option. But you have to create an intermediate high quality png or jpeg file. It would be nice to have this out of the box. There are a lot of people involved in websites now, and to be able to get good quality files with low weight ... this is a good thing.

Yes, I agree, it was necessary to place in the functional requests. I have a solution to get the result I need. But it seems to me that this functionality would be useful to many users. It's nice when you, having professional software, solve your problems without resorting to third-party programs.

i've abandoned Affinity Photo for PixelmatorPro, just for WebP export feature.

it's sad because it's an easy feature, now a standard for all current and next web dev (images are 50% smaller than jpg and png!) and it wouldn't cost too much to say: sure it'll come with 1.11 be patient!

Update to this: Not only is there JPEG XL export in V2, but what wasn't announced, and I was surprised to see, was webp as an export option.
