Images are saved as .webp instead of original format (JPG, JPEG, PNG, etc.)
-
@Pesala Ah, yes, i see now what is meant.
I tested only Link Save As. -
@DoctorG It is the same issue as described in Display Webp Files as Original Format.
-
That is not a bug in Vivaldi, all Chromium related browsers act like this as they can handle webp images, the same does Mozilla browsers.
It is a server-sided feature.I can download by link as Jpeg if i use program
wget
. But that is only a prof of concept that the server send different dat for different browsers and apps.
@LucasHahaFunny
Servers can detect the data format browsers can handle, and image/webp is one of these, thats why you get WebP instead of Jpeg.Why do you need Jpeg? Your program can not open WebP?
A extension Save Image As save as different file type, but i do not want to test.
-
I get the same as above - using Ctrl+S to save I get JPG, right-click and Save As I get WebP.
Content-type when using a browser is:
content-type: image/webp
When using curl I get:content-type: image/jpeg
This is because curl sends:
accept: */*
While the browser sends:
accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.9
The browser tells the server it supports WebP images, and the CDN server is happy to send a WebP since they are usually much smaller in size and save bandwidth.
So if I make curl send the same:
$ curl -I -H "accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.9" "https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/05e97d16e7fb53439a4222e53dcba47d4d31dde8/c=0-97-1280-584/local/-/media/USATODAY/USATODAY/2014/06/04/1401911998000-AP-Color-Cosmos.jpg?width=3200&height=1680&fit=crop" HTTP/2 200 content-type: image/webp
So this is some CDN optimisation stuff, it will prefer sending WebP images to clients that support it.
As to why Ctrl+S gives me a JPG while "Save As" gives a WebP, it's probably some "quirk" of Chromium browsers.

@Pathduck said in "Save image as" downloads as .webp instead of .jpg, .jpeg, or .png:
while "Save As" gives a WebP, it's probably some "quirk" of Chromium browsers.
And on Mozilla 107.

I support this.
How many donations, do you need, to attain conversion software, so us graphics-folks can save images in peace, with no need for extra work.
My example:
Integrated into the browser, with a setting, where YOU choose, which format, you prefer for saving images online.Default being .webp - able to change at an instant.

@OliJen Donations will not change the priority of a feature request. Upvotes might help, but this request has only two votes after more than three years.
Upvotes are not an important factor in deciding what gets done.

Please watch Jón’s Response to my Question on this topic. -
As you do not want a webp image, the best way would be to remove from HTTP accept header browser sends to server the image/webp. Then you get not webp images anymore.
Solution
Extension SimpleModifyHeaders
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/simple-modify-headers/gjgiipmpldkpbdfjkgofildhapegmmic
https://github.com/didierfred/SimpleModifyHeaders
exported config SimpleModyfyHeader.conf to remove the webp from being downloaded.
{"format_version":"1.2","target_page":"*","headers":[{"url_contains":"","action":"modify","header_name":"accept","header_value":"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7","comment":"Remove WebP","apply_on":"req","status":"on"}],"debug_mode":false,"show_comments":true,"use_url_contains":false}

@OliJen conversion software for which destination formats? Graphics has so many and more: EPS, PDF, AI, JPEG, TIFF, AVIF, GIF, APNG, JP2K, XPM, HEIF, BMP, PNG, PSD, …
Such feature would be more investment in time for Vivaldi devs.
It is easier for users to use extensions to get rid of some wrong content on servers or use external conversion software.
Sorry to say, but users working with graphics should have learned over the years and decades how to workaround image format issues..I can understand such wish with image conversion, but usually such will not be added by Vivaldi dev team if there is a easy way for users to solve a problem with external apps or browser extensions.

What wise and thoughtful words. Users should get this into their heads before asking Vivaldi to do something, or better said, before wanting Vivaldi to do everything.

@barbudo2005 Alrite calm down, Jamal. You can flirt in the DMs. I was simply asking, and I'll escort myself to G's Webstore.
Have a better day.

@expuix Had you tried Save image as type extension?

@Jiyasharma The problem of getting WebP is: website is hosted on server which detects that Vivaldi can use image/webp content and sends it instead of image/png or image/jpeg.
This has nothing to do with network setting or third party service.
