1. Right-click on a .webp image > share

There's no "Upload to Imgur" item!

This is because Imgur doesn't support webp images for some reason, and the plugin usefully disables itself when given anything not on the whitelist: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/purpose/-/blob/master/src/plugins/imgur/imgurplugin.json?ref_type=heads#L169

However this still leaves it unclear as to why the plugin wasn't available if you're not a Purpose developer.

It would be ideal if other image formats could be internally converted to PNG or something, and then uploaded. That way we wouldn't need a whitelist of image formats at least (videos would be a whole 'nother kettle of fish).
