Google Docs, of all things, does not support webp. Preview on Mac can open it but not edit. Those are my two most common use cases.


I celebrated the anniversary of the (internal) bug asking for SVG support in Google slides. I think it's up to 15 years now?

So, uh, don't get your hopes up.


Well SVGs I understand being harder to support, those aren't really images. And various anti-injection security rules treat it as untrusted HTML code.


There is a workaround for using SVG in Google Slides by using Google Drive to convert to EMF (a format I’ve never heard of anywhere else). It’s a pain, though.

Huh, first I've heard of EMF too.


It seems so strange to me that it is this hard to add: I wrote a userscript recently to extract titles from slides and if I recall Google slides already renders in an svg format. Wondering what's going on here.
