Would be cool to be able to also get emotes as GIFs, some older software doesn't support webp and avif

You can already save the gif version by changing the extension to .gif (this is the one used in discord embeds)

#

but an emote with an alpha channel will always look worse when converted to a gif

@grim plume Wait

#

I swear you couldnt do this a couple weeks ago

grim plume
#

Nah it's been a thing forever

idle raptor
#

Hm

grim plume
#

But also 7tv isn't your heckin' image provider

#

they're meant to be used on twitch

#

Just sayin'

idle raptor
#

No I know, i wanted to make a chat overlay for android tv

#

Which goes on top of streams

#

Android doesn't support webp?

idle raptor
#

And i was using some archaic image decoder whatever which didnt support webp

grim plume
#

oh I see

idle raptor
#

Anyways thanks i guess

grim plume
#

webp is hard to "decode" still for sure

#

but ideally they just get "displayed"

#

displaying is easier than "decoding" it seems

#

in my mind the word "decoding" involves turning the file into a raw data that can be used by anything
