Why my Webp images are not transparent in Gmail ? - Loiseau2nuit - 03-14-2023

Hi there !

I'm dealing with an issue here, which I can't figure out.

I'm exporting transparent PNG images (or even XFCs) to transparent lossless webp images which are very well delt everywhere I use them except ... in GMail, which display them with a black background ?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I really can't find out what, nor why evryone deal with my image except the one service coming out of the same firm that created the webp format late back in 2010 (or 11) ?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

If it works everywhere but on GMail then the problem is with GMail? Is the image or the alpha channel lossy?

This said the attached image works for me.
