Disabling WebP Compression
-
I am having a problem with WordPress severely compressing my WebP files. I am optimizing my WebP files by converting them offline, but WordPress insists on compressing them even further turning them into a jumbled mess. Does anyone know of any code to disable WebP compression completely and use the full-sized files I upload instead of being forced to use the scaled images?
I found a code for JPEG files on wpbeginner, but that does not serve my needs for WebP.
Thank you in advance.

@soberbanda Thank you for your links. The first two unfortunately don’t apply to my scenario since they only affect JPG files and I am dealing with WEBP. However, the third link for WP-Retina 2X did answer one problem I was seeing with WordPress compressing the file and naming it scaled. I didn’t realize WordPress automatically resizes files over 2560. Using the information in the link provided by the Plugin Documentation, I was able to disable it using the Functions.php file.
