mayankleoboy1 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Paint.Net wont open this image. Gives an error when opening. Additional info:This image wont open in the following programs: Windows image viewer, MSPaint, FirefoxThis image opens in : Android Phone, Chrome browser, Google Picassa Viewer.This image was initially browsed in Chrome, on an android device, and then the image was saved from the browser to the local storage of phone. Then this image was copid from the phone to a Win7 computer, where various programs listed above wont open it. EDIT1: This forum is not allowing me to attach the file (probably because it is corrupt in some way, and the forum software cant generate a preview of it) . Anyway, i have uploaded the image to this location : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8588934 (i have filed a similar bug for mozilla firefox) Edit2: On the chrome browser, i have enabled the "Reduce data usage" setting, which compresses images and texts before sending them to my phone. It reencodes images etc. , which might have caused this corruption. Edited April 7, 2015 by mayankleoboy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midora Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 That's not a big surprise because the image is in a non-standard image format 'webp' introduced by google. First thing to do is to change the file extension to .webp Second to open it in paint.net you have to download and install the webp filetpye plugin.

mayankleoboy1 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks a lot! This worked. I was able to open and convert a webp image to a jpeg. I have ~50 webp images in a folder. Is there any way i can automate the conversion of these images to jpeg ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
