    you can just manually change the extension to “.jpeg” or “.png” and Windows/Linux/Android file managers will automatically convert it

    Thank you for the suggestion, but that’s not how it works. Changing a file’s extension doesn’t change the file type; it just changes the name.

      When I take an image file and change its extension from webp to png it converts the binary data, so I imagine your OS’ default file manager would do that too. Maybe not tho.
