    Somewhere I read that from version 1.1 the WebP (weppy) format should be completely supported. But I can't find this. Or is this possible with an extension only?

    I need some information, please help. Thank's in advance.

    Regards

    Hi Tom

    The new export file formats come to light when you go Export PNG Image and hit Save As… this will open this dialog from where you can choose of the drop gown menu:

    From my experience non except PNG work in macOS and confront me with this error instead:

    "Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "raster_output_tiff.py", line 22, in <module>
        TiffOutput().run()
      File "/Applications/Inkscapedevel.app/Contents/Resources/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex/base.py", line 130, in run
        self.load_raw()
      File "/Applications/Inkscapedevel.app/Contents/Resources/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex/base.py", line 143, in load_raw
        document = self.load(self.file_io)
      File "/Applications/Inkscapedevel.app/Contents/Resources/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex/extensions.py", line 73, in load
        from PIL import Image
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'"

    @Polygon Thank you for this quick reply. So I discovered it now. But if you don't know this, you would not expect it. And I tried it already and it worked. Test image PNG size 30 KByte and same as WebP 19 KByte - that is great. 

    Regards

    As I said: not working for me in macOS - so I guess you´re on Windows or Linux.
