. . . for a lot of the old guys --
Huh?

Stan... you resemble that remark...  Lets see that format is 25-30% smaller than jpeg... so your old phone takes 4 Meg pictures so that format makes it a 3 Meg... still way to large for this forum... but wait, my phone takes jpegs so I'll need yet another converter to make it different....
I sense advertising in this loop somewhere.... but what do I know.  cromag

Apologies for being Joe Verbose, again.
Re WebP image files, we hated the switchover to WebP on many websites, like eBay, where I save the image files of stuff I buy, just in case.  There're one-at-a-time WebP to JPG converter websites out there, which are a PITA (pain in the neck) for multiple WebP to JPG conversions. 
If y'all need an easy way to compress JPG's to reduce file size for this site, I highly recommend going old school: Picasa, Googlie's abandoned editing software that's sooo simple to use, and still free. 
Exporting from Picasa is its compression function.  You can batch export, selecting specifics for the size (max pixels) and image quality (min, max, normal, or a specific %).  Abandoned Picasa can still be downloaded, but will never be updated by those Googlie folks. 
Do y'all have a max JPG upload size?  If so, you can easily reach that yet maintain decent image quality with an exported JPG from Picasa.  Caveat, the file name is the same for the exported JPG, so it can be confusing (I use a folder named with the specs on the export settings).  BTW, you manually enter a max pixel quantity if you want anything over 1600, the max default as-downloaded.
Example, I just took a 3000 x 4000 cell-phone photo JPG of 2.7 Mb, and exported it using Picasa with settings of 2000-max and Normal, and the exported JPG is 1500 by 2000 at 780 Kb, so about a quarter the original file size, and half the overall dimensions.  Exporting to 1000-max Normal gives me a 236 Kb file, 9% the size of the original. 
I do a lot of scanning and posting of old documents, and have used Picasa for editing and compressing JPG's forever.  Gimp (also free) works well, too, but it's so powerful that's it's difficult to use (that is, there're so many options). 
Please transfer this post if there's a better thread for it.
Just trying to help. FWIW.
Joe Verbose out.

Huh?

Sorry, might as well been in Chinese to me.  (Maybe it was !?!)

This is from a guy that made a good living writing award-winning radio commercials, designing print advertising layouts, and producing television ads, too.

(Might as well be in Chinese. Now I gotta go down to the local Chevy dealer to get them to reset the damn "change oil light" after I've done it for my wife's car.)

I didn't work in IT, or graphics.  Nearly 70, so I'm a pre-PC geezer.  Use a flip phone.  Learned by doing. 
Swapped 1st engine at 16 (tired 289 in '66 wagon).  Never took shop, so learned by doing (hmmm, deja vu), as in "tighty whitey loosey goosey," or however that goes.
Picasa is old, so it's easy to use.  If I can use it, anyone can.  FWIW.

Stan, when you take it to them, have them show you the path to reset on the dash... its probably in a menu somewhere
