Lol, I was Miro user for whole 1.5min until I found out that it lacks basic feature I need. Nice... It’s shame that such big company cannot figure out such old format (it is old in 2025). Let’s be honest - nobody is working on it, because there is nothing to work on really. And now I have to look for Miro alternative :/ 


@LukaszCh 

You must have missed my post on the prior page. Don’t get up; I repost it here. 

Also, there is no replacement for Miro, even though the webp support is extremely lame.


HACK / WORK-AROUND


This works for ANYWHERE you see the image, not just a browser. File type is irrelevant. If you can see it, you can bring it in!

  • View the image in any way (browser / Photoshop / Explorer / etc)
  • Use the Windows key ⊞ + SHIFT + S (This is the system ‘snipping tool’)
  • Go to your Miro Board
  • CTRL + V to paste it. 
  • It will be in a random location and size, but it’e easy to move and re-size.
  • This is the fastest way.

@LukaszCh , I get how frustrating it is when a tool doesn’t support a format that’s crucial for your workflow. If you decide to give Miro another shot, feel free to share any other challenges, and I’d be happy to help find solutions! 😊

 

@Dave Schultze , thanks for sharing that workaround! Appreciate you taking the time to help out!😍


This is becoming increasingly frustrating to the point of us seriously having to look for other tools that can do the job. Webp support should be a given at this stage.


This is an essential feature. Upvoted and hope it gets prioritized.


Please consider adding WebP support. As more web content shifts toward WebP and WebM formats, the lack of support is causing increasing issues when using your service. While GIFs have served well in the past, they are outdated, heavy, and no longer efficient for modern web use.


I agree with everyone else, please add support for webp images!
