Hi there, first of all I got to say that I love Kirby 😃

Now, on a website I’m workin’ on I’ve uploaded all the images in WebP format, all good until you acces it from IOS that dosen’t support WebP.

My question is if there’s a way to change on a JPG/PNG format on browsers that don’t support WebP?

Doing it properly is very much recommended, but it is possible to do it via `.htaccess` by redirecting to the webp if its supported. You just need to upload both file types for each image. This should be a last resort though if the usual ways are not possible via the `picture` tag for example.

I havent tried this on a Kirby site though, so you may have to tweak it a little.

Here’s a good webp to jpg converter, by the way: [https://www.movavi.com/support/how-to/how-to-convert-webp-to-jpg.html](https://www.movavi.com/support/how-to/how-to-convert-webp-to-jpg.html) Recommend using it, it’s pretty handy and no quality loss.

Nice tip @Syd - personally I use [XnConvert](https://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/) which is free and cross platform, if I have a lot of them to do since it handles a heck of lot more formats along with batch conversion. If i just have one or two to do, then I tend to use [Krita](https://krita.org/en/) which is also free and cross platform
