Which image-viewers in linux support the `webp` image format?

Here are the Linux image-viewers, that display webp images:

  • Chrome, Firefox65+ |ESR ~68.0 & all major browsers
  • eog, with webp-pixbuf-loader
  • feh, with imlib2-webp
  • GIMP ver 2.10
  • GraphicsMagick
  • gThumb from trusty-release or above ~3.4.3
  • Gwenview //from KDE
  • ImageMagick
  • nomacs
  • PhotoQt
  • qview
  • Thunar // in old system, update mime-info
  • vwebp -part of libwebp
  • XnViewMP

and others from wiki


If you are looking for GUI applications, consider GIMP or ImageMagick.

If you have installed the webp package, you could use vwebp file.webp to view the image, and dwebp file.webp -o file.png to convert it to a png file.
