While Apple is relying on a new compression system from its own home with HEIC, Google has a reduction in all graphic and photo files on the web on its agenda with the WebP standard. By the way, Sir Apfelot also runs a tool that makes the images available as WebP if the browser can use them. With the help of the WebP image format, photos and graphics with small file sizes can be saved and websites load significantly faster. As a result, my Apple Mail was smeared less than 5 seconds later - probably because it was so shocked to discover 'WebP' files. When I looked at the attachments with the paper clip symbol in Apple Mail, I saw the file extension 'webp' and it was already clear to me: that is the reason for the display problems. I asked the customer to send me the files again, but the second email looked the same. I only knew that from broken JPEG photos. In the first email I thought the files were defective because the images were not displayed in Apple Mail and only strange placeholders with question marks were visible in the mail.

Yesterday I received a batch of pictures from a customer that I was supposed to exchange on her website.
