        @samsamtran so you can edit the file name right, you need to put .png at the end of the file name after you save the image as but make sure the .gif part is gone sry if its confusing

          @samsamtran To change in the extension you need to open your file explorer (Win + E) and display the extensions in file explorer view settings :

                  @kened I changed my live wallpaper from .gif to .webp and it still said "Unsupported File Type". What do I do now?

                      Did you actually convert to webp?

                          @skelinatra If you can upload the file somewhere, others can try it and see what the issue is.

                            @kened this worked very well, i advise people to use this converter as it has smooth 20 frames and good output. https://mconverter.eu/convert/mp4/webp/

                                    You can use a webp format to get a gif background. if you cant download it as a webp you can turn a gif into a webp using https://ezgif.com/gif-to-webp its easy to use.
