I use Endeavour OS (Arch based btw) and I’ve noticed that when I select to choose a new image as my wallpaper, it doesn’t support the .webp format.

Does plasma desktop not support .webp images as wallpaper? Am I doing something wrong?

Go to cloudconvert.com and convert it to jpeg or png. Then it should work.

Doesn’t work for me, but this may also be an option.

Just make sure imagemagick is installed. convert input.webp output.jpg will also work.

thanks, I used gimp to convert from .webp to .png. I guess the plasma desktop does not support .webp images as wallpapers then? It would be cool to support them in the future.
