Webp turns to PNG

It seems that webp images turn for some odd reason into PNG images above a certain pixel size of the source image (9.2.8), using $image->getThumbnailURL() ?

Is that a bug or a very strange feature? Can I somehow deactivate that?

What pixel size is giving the issue?

Hi Steevb

I just realized that EVERY webp image is turned into a PNG. My WebP images were only shown webp if the original size was used.

How is that possible? Can concrete5 not deal with webP images?

I cannot replicate the issue, I’m using 9.3.3. Maybe update the cms?

PHP uses GDK or ImageMagick for image manipulation. Resize format may also depend on how those external tools are configured on the server.

Hi John

When using ImageMagick in my own implementations, it works with WebP like a charm. Is it, that 9.2.8 doesn’t yet have WebP support?

The above was just a suggestion of further things to check.

Webp on GitHub.

Looks like you will need 9.3+ for webp.
