    Hi Team,

    Since the WordPress 5.8 version, it has started supporting webp image by default.

    Hence, I started adding webp images in my all blog posts. However, the issue comes up when I add webp image as featured image.

    The social media sites doesn’t detect featured image of webp format, and show any random image from the post.

    When I checked, I saw that og:image type is set as image/png.

    Is there a way to make webp image appear as featured image on social media.

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    There is no way to set webp images as the og:image because the Open Graph only supports image/jpeg, image/gif, or image/png.

    You can also check this link for the standard image file extensions supported by Open Graph:

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
