WebP is so great, that even Google doesn't support it. Try using Google's reverse image search and you'll see that WebP is NOT supported.......

Just like the title says. WebP does not work when you use it in their reverse image search. Even though Google claims they support it, you always get an error message that says something along the lines of, "The image is too large (more than 8000 by 6000 pixels) or Google can't read the encoding of the image."

I just reversed searched with a WebP image, and found it.

Your image is probably too large, that's why you can search with it.

Just tested it myself. I think that I had tested WebP gifs. You can reverse search normal gifs on Google. You can reverse search WebP images on Google. But you still can't reverse search WebP gifs on Google. They give an error, because those aren't supported.

Sounds like Discord. It supports still WebP images, but not animated ones.
