Reply to comment by FellowConspirator in ELI5: In recent years, new formats like webp and jfif have started popping up. However, if I rename them to gif or jpeg, they still work. How can it be that renaming the extension doesn't ruin the image format? Why do they even exist then? by Luthemplaer
This is why I was able to trick my friends (and myself for a while) into thinking animated jpegs were a thing. I just used to rename the file extension of a gif to .jpg.
