The WebP meme refers to the collective internet frustration regarding Google's image format, which is optimized for web performance but often lacks compatibility with standard desktop applications. Users often encounter this when right-clicking to save an image, only to find the file is unusable in older versions of Photoshop or basic image viewers. The meme typically depicts the disappointment of expecting a JPG or PNG and receiving a WebP instead, often using characters expressing anger, betrayal, or confusion. It has become a staple in tech and design communities, symbolizing the clash between modern web standards and user convenience.
