How to load a webp in QImage?

[jeff1209]

I have a simple project that displays an image picked by the user. In the process, I run:

QImage image;
image.load(imagePath);

But QImage remains with an "invalid" image. It does work for other image formats, like png and jpg.

As I understand it, webp is supported by something called "Qt Image Formats", that's external to QtGui, but looking at the plugins/imageformats folder, there is no webp dll, only a qwebp.pdb file.

How can I acquire this dll? Or am I missing the mark somewhere?

Yes, in the Qt online installer you forgot to install the Qt image formats for your Qt version.
