I haven’t come across a single image or video editor that doesn’t support webp. I use paint.net, krita, aseprite, inkscape, opentoonz, and davinci resolve, they all support importing/exporting and editing webp just fine. I’m pretty sure GIMP and Photoshop do too but I don’t use them so I can’t say for sure
When I take an image file and change its extension from webp to png it converts the binary data, so I imagine your OS’ default file manager would do that too. Maybe not tho.
What OS & version are you using that automatically converts file types when you change the filename via the default file manager interface? I have never heard of this function before.
Lots of platforms, even image editing don’t support webp

Thank you for the suggestion, but that’s not how it works. Changing a file’s extension doesn’t change the file type; it just changes the name.

Some file managers on linux can do this, but it’s definitely not a default on most.
