# Feature request – down conversion

 * Greetings Bjorn,
 * and thank you for your great plugin. I have a feature request for you, which 
   would help those sites that are deploying webp as their primary image format (
   like we are). Instead of upconverting from jpg/png to webp, we’d love to be able
   to take our webp images and downconvert to jpeg, to cover legacy browsers. We
   can do this manually and then colocate the images inside the wp-content/uploads
   folders with our webp image, but, as of now, there’s no way to take advantage
   of these images (i.e. plugin doesn’t seem to see them).
 * I suspect you’ll see more and more request like this one, as folks start deploying
   with webp as their primary image type.
 * If this is doable today with the current plugin, I’d love to understand what 
   configuration settings allow it.
 * Thank you and have a great day,
 * Peter B.
