How Do I Add a WebP to Photoshop?

Last updated on November 19, 2022 @ 5:53 pm

Do you have images in the WebP format that you want to use in Photoshop? While Photoshop doesn’t natively support WebP, there’s a work around that allows you to open and edit these images. Here’s how to do it:

1. Download and install the WebPShop plugin.

2. Launch Photoshop and open the WebP image you want to edit.

3. Go to File > Save As and choose Photoshop (*.psd) from the Format drop-down menu.

4. Click Save and close the image.

5. Re-open the image from File > Open in Photoshop. Now you should be able to edit the image as normal.

6. When you’re done, go to File > Save As and choose WebP from the Format drop-down menu.

That’s all there is to it! Now you can easily edit WebP images in Photoshop using this simple workaround.

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop to edit images, be aware that there is a potential security risk when adding WebP files. Photoshop will automatically convert WebP files to the PSD format, which could allow malicious code to be executed on your system.
