WebP support for animated prototyping and export

Would be awesome to support a Webp file when exporting images like Sketch. (without using any plug-ins)

webp is an incredibly storage efficient file format. I’m yet another voice here to say we need this!

At this point we are going to get webp when it’s obsolete and replaced by avif.

I’m literally in the process of using ChatGPT to help me make a plugin for good webp compression exports. Asking it to help me create it so there is no cost and I can lunch it as a free plugin 😅

It should be the platform’s number 1 priority. Since the format has been widely accepted for a long time, many other more basic tools already have this option native.

I need this feature too! the developers keep asking me to convert for them, because as viewers they can’t use the webp plugin, and its really annoying

Give us WebP please ! It’s a web standard since years and all devs are asking this format ! Why is it complicated to add ?

I believe that I am more effective and powerful as a front-end developer when working with the WebP format.

If the Figma team is looking for a good compression engine, the one that https://webp-converter.com/ uses is the best I’ve tried.

Related to this, it would be wonderful if the built-in exporter for jpg, png, svg, and pdf would utilize “tiny” engines. The default output from Figma is usually very compatible but often several times larger in file size than it could be.
