The default Photos app on Windows does not support WebP images.
In addition, we can’t edit them in their original format since we can’t open them.
The best solution to this problem is to install an program that supports WebP format.
We will also demonstrate how to open and edit images using them.
PhotoScape X
PhotoScape X is a lightweight image viewer and editor that supports WebP images.
Thus, the tool not only helps you view WebP images but also converts them.
It is also possible to improve the quality of the images when you save them.
Pixlr Suite
Pixlr Suite is another excellent image viewer and editor that supports WebP.
Its clean interface and plenty of editing features make it easy to use.
The app is lightweight, so it will take up a few system resources to install.
Additionally, it is not resource-hungry so it won’t slow down your system.

The downside of Snagit is that you will be required to purchase a subscription after the 15-day trial.
The investment, however, is well worth it.
This way, you will ensure that the app is not collecting data you do not want.
Moreover, you might directly import the opened images into any app of your choice.
Therefore, the same rules apply here as well.
While you’re free to use any tool you like most, we recommend Snagit.
PhotoScape X is a good choice for those who prefer freeware.
This way, you might save, edit, and use them in the format of your choice.
