It saves the file and it works. I think there might be a permissions issue with some images (are the images part of a particular album/folder? Are they all from a certain app? etc.)

Double check the permissions of Material Files, maybe you have it set to something like “only allow images I select”

Are webp files giving you a hard time? They’re a pain in the butt.

Webp’s are the biggest pains in the butt. I hate them. Very few apps that I use support sharing them.

I don’t have anything against the format, itself, I just wish it was more widely-supported.
