The webp format needs to be added to the loaders cache:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
          --buildtype=release:
          Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
          the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
        
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache: This command updates the gdk-pixbuf loader cache so that it knows the webp loader has been installed.
