WebP file extension?
-
Official comment
Good news, Snagit now supports WebP files in version 22.1.1 - released today!
-
Yes, we need webp support. 6 -
I made a request here, but didn't realize that someone had already made the request. Surprised more programs are not adopting this new format, as it can save 20-50% off of png. Their lossy format seems to hold much better than jpeg or png. The lossless format is still about 15-20% smaller than png, AFTER using pngout.
I'm impressed. It looks like it can be the new png, if it gets wide adoption.4 -
It has been 7 YEARS since the first request for .webp support in Snagit and still nothing. What's up with that? Same for .jfif and a few others. 5 -
7 years - incredible. Now there are already a lot of images on the internen in this format. The best screenshot software... that means best only for capture? Windows 10 captures very well too. 5 -
Now that Google is making Page Speed a priority in ranking factors for 2021- we are being instructed to convert all image files to WebP. If SnagIt can't do it, I'm going to have to start using a different software on the daily. PLEASE TECHSMITH - RESPOND TO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Snagit is still not supporting Webp image file extensions? Can't believe a request was made so long ago. Webp has become more and more popular on web pages. Why is taking so long? Is anybody from Tech Support reading these comments?

Please support WebP. Not having this support is adding extra steps to my workflow.

Sending quick video tips is one of the main uses of SnagIt for me, but I'm stuck with .mp4 and huge file sizes unless I convert myself. This pushes me back to the excellent Vimeo Chrome extension that allows me to quickly download in WebP. If this is still not supported when I next renew, I'm not sure I will bother.

Hallo
Techsmith are you sleeping?
Please support WebP3 -
It appears the trend of using WEBP images on websites is growing rapidly. Is there any plan to give Snagit the ability to edit WEBP images, and to save them to different file formats? We need the ability to convert WEBP to JPEG or PNG. It also looks like we will have to be able to convert our existing images to WEBP format to satisfy Google. This will be an important product improvement Snagit is my go-to image editing software. I would hate to have to buy another software for image editing. Thank you.

Welp... still wondering why I should bother upgrading again (year after year) - and apparently after 10 years you still don't handle Webp... so I guess, there really is no reason to upgrade

Another vote for webp

And another vote for webp support, from a 13+ year Snagit/Snagit Editor user.
The length of time this request hasn't been responded to or even better developed is concerning.

Adding one more up vote on this from a 12-year daily Snagit user.

It is a bit ridiculous that there's no ability to even OPEN a webp file, let alone Save as...
3 -
Please add the support to save as WebP. Now even Wordpress is looking at making it their standard for all images exported to (imported into?) it. Yes, I believe it will convert them "on the fly", but I would rather do it in SnagIt also, because some photos I FTP load directly to the site.
Registered user since version 7.0.3!

how does this only have 10 votes after 9 years of being a request.
Ridiculous that this is not already standard functionality.2 -
I think it only has 10 votes because Snagit is unresponsive to improvement requests like WebP and gradient fill. Literally, these are functions in Microsoft Paint. I haven't seen a reason to upgrade since 2016.

Love Snagit! Will you be updating soon with the .WebP file extension? (10 years later)

Giving feedback another go, using a different method:

Would also like to see webp support, please. Save webp. Convert in paint. Edit in snagit. Rather just open and edit in snagit's editor.

Maybe a little hope?

Good shout tinker guy and well done to Paul to raise it on twitter as we are clearly being ignored here!

Hi folks,
This is something we're actively looking into. Stay tuned :)

*insert sponge bob meme "9 YEARS LATER"*
but seriously, thanks luke. hope it will be available in the near future!
thanks to OP and everyone else who brought it up over the past 9 years here and recently on twitter.

Luke Griffioen, thank you for the response even though it took nearly 10 years for Techsmith to bother. As a result, I stopped upgrading Snagit three years ago after being an avid supporter and customer since Snagit first launched. There are many other excellent image and video editing software options available. Once customer support (on your own website) turns to crap, it's time to move on.

Hi,
We get tons of feature requests for Snagit all the time, many more than we could ever do. We try to prioritize by which items get the most requests, and WebP support really only picked up in volume in the last year or 2.
