Have you tried saving a picture on the internet and it saves it as the new "webp" extension? Instead you want just a .jpg file or .png file so your photo viewer can open it?

Here is a simple way to change the extension.

When you see the image you want, right click and click "save image as..". A box will appear on where to save the picture. At the bottom of the box, it will have the file name and "save file type as:". Choose the drop down box and click "All files". Then in the file name box, change the last part of the file name from .webp to .jpg". Then click "Save". Your photo viewers will now be able to open that image.

Do the same process for .png images. Instead of typing in .jpg, type in .png.

Thats all.
