webp wallpaper

About this tag
The webp wallpaper tag covers Microsoft's addition of native .webp image support for desktop backgrounds in Windows 11. Starting with Insider Preview builds in early 2026, users can set .webp files as first-class wallpapers through Settings > Personalization, eliminating the need to convert web-sourced images to JPG or PNG. This feature appeared in Canary, Dev, Beta, and Release Preview channels before rolling out in cumulative updates like KB5079473 for Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2. The tag includes discussions of related quality-of-life improvements such as Emoji 16.0, Sysmon integration, and network speed tests that shipped alongside webp wallpaper support in the March 2026 feature drop.
