 * Hi [@idenovasi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idenovasi/)!
 * This is Joseph from Imagify, and I’ll gladly assist you here!
 * Unfortunately, we don’t have a hook at the moment to allow you to exclude WebP
   from certain locations.
 * What can be done to prevent the picture tag replacement for the images that are
   giving you issues, is you can use an FTP program to delete those specific WebP
   images. If no WebP image exists for a particular image, then no replacement with
   picture tags happens.
 * If you do this, I would recommend saving local copies of the WebP images you 
   delete, because widespread adoption of support for them in Safari browsers seems
   to be approaching. In Apple’s recent Big Sur 11 update, they introduced support
   for WebP images in their newest version of Safari. Once this update is widely
   adopted by users and the older versions of Safari are no longer widely used, 
   you’ll be able to safely link directly to your WebP images without the need for
   Imagify’s “Use <picture> tags” or “Use rewrite rules” options to provide fallback
   support. You can track browser support for WebP at [https://caniuse.com/webp](https://caniuse.com/webp).
 * If an option to exclude specific images from picture tag replacement does become
   available, I’ll make sure to update this post so you know.
 * Please let me know if you have any further questions on this and I’ll be more
   than happy to assist!
 * Best regards,
    Joseph
