RE: Suggestion for optimizing image upload to Steem

in #steemit2 days ago

I've been unable to upload stock pictures for my stories and had to keep trying different ones—so it's the issue with Steemit again. Do I need to save my image as 'All Files' to be able to access the WebP file type when I'm selecting an image?

It depends on which program you use to save/edit your images.

With Gimp, all you need to do is go to Export and then specify .webp as the file extension. However, most programs offer a selection under “Save as” or “Export” – and not all programs support webp.

I briefly looked at your latest posts, where the images are uploaded as .jpg files. That's good, because it's also a compressed format. I think you can save yourself the effort of converting .jpg to .webp.
