How to Download Images from the Android Play Store

Well if you ever tried to download the images form the google play store, well you might have seen the images are downloaded with the .webp extension, well this is a new kind of extension which is currently being used by Google for their android play store apps data, storing their images and displaying them. Well .webp is a new format and its basically more optimized then .png or so.

So this extension will become the extension of future and possibly windows will get this extension working in their default image viewer, but for now your saved images from the google play store won't open in your computer as its nor recognized.
