No, it's a different format underneath.

Occasionally it'll work, cause an app will use a library that supports webp but forget to add it to the file picker (or deliberately don't want it) but generally no.

    Just had this experience with some .png files I downloaded. Apparently Chrome, which i used on my work computer to get some game files, downloads images in .webp by default. Even if specifically saved as other formats. Game wouldn't recognize my pngs until I changed them back to .webp like you described, opened them in PS, and exported as .png. The filetype does some funky stuff

    Some servers will serve webp to supported browsers to save bandwidth, even if the URL ends in .png. So its not Chrome's default, its the website.
