Use the file command to identify the image format, then rename accordingly:

$ file foobar.jpg

foobar.jpg: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image, VP8 encoding, 1024x751, Scaling: [none]x[none], YUV color, decoders should clamp

In this case, change the suffix to .webp. Either install gThumb (haven't tried) or open it with an image editing program like "Gimp". On Gimp, go to File > export and change the ending to .jpg.

Or if file responds with:

 foobar.jpg: PNG image data, 358 x 358, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

which indicates that the file is actually in PNG format, not jpeg. So I rename the file and open it with:

$ mv foobar.jpg foobar.png
$ xdg-open foobar.png

I'm having this same issue. I saved an image from Firefox and changing the extension from .jpg to .webp gives me another error.

Could Not Display filename.webp There is no application for "WebP image" files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file? Cancel Search in Software

I click Search in Software but nothing happens.

Solved: Go to the terminal. sudo apt-get install gthumb Next right click the image> Open With Other Application Select gThumb as the default application Perfect! Now I can finally open them and the thumbnail icon changed too. :D
