As of writing this article in 2022, Java doesn't natively support WebP images. However, there is a there is a library called webp-imageio that can support WebP image-io for Java.
Use a browser that does not support webp You can run Firefox or Internet Explorer instead for all your image downloading needs, so that the images are automatically saved as png or jpg images. If you rely on Chrome, try the User Agent Switcher extension instead which fakes the browser you are using.
Essentially WebP offers the following benefits over PNG. WebP offers 26% smaller file sizes than PNG, while still providing transparency and the same quality. WebP loads faster (due to file size) than PNG images.
Found this library today: webp-imageio. Haven't tried it out yet, but it looks like it'll do encoding using ImageIO.

sprd-webp is another java JNI library based on webp-imageio. It is a wrapper around googles libwebp and not a real java implementation.
