Why does Chrome save images as WebP instead of JPG?
When a website serves images in WebP format, Chrome downloads the file in its actual format (WebP) even if the URL contains .jpg. The server sends WebP, Chrome saves WebP. The URL extension is just a name.
Can Samsung Gallery open WebP files?
Samsung Gallery on One UI 3 and later can open WebP files. Older Samsung devices and third-party gallery apps often cannot. Converting to JPG ensures compatibility with all Android apps.
How do I move downloaded files to my Android Photos app?
Go to Files > Downloads. Long-press the JPG file and tap Move or Copy. Navigate to Pictures or DCIM. The file will appear in your Gallery or Photos app after the next media scan (usually within a minute).
