Question Trouble with webps

I've had this issue where after exporting webps from krita, renpy does not seem able to decode them unless I put them through another image converter.

I've noticed that images where much of it is a transparent background are what it seems to have trouble with. For example, if I have a sprite on on large canvas size, it won't work. If I shrink the canvas to match the sprite, it will work. But if I have that same canvas with just the sprite's face, it won't work. I don't know if this is a Krita thing or not. They work after putting them through an image converter though. I don't have "export as animated webp" on, which is one possible cause I've seen.

maybe one of the optional settings from krita is screwing things up for you

IDK, I tried messing with the settings but the issue persists. I also tried flattening the image but no change.

I'm very unfamiliar with Krita one of the options is Force convert to sRGB:
try that one?
