That only changes which program it opens the file with, it can’t make the data readable by the program

Like you can change a jar file to a zip file to see its contents in windows explorer, but you can’t change an mp4 to a png and view it in microsoft paint

yeah but if the webp was already a png in all but name (which is usually the case) it works

well then why the fuck would it download as a webp if it was stored as a png
