Artwork image formats

The artwork view and playlist view use the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) to load images.

This means that support for additional image formats can be added by installing additional WIC codecs.

The current version of Windows 10 and 11 normally have WebP and HEIF images installed automatically. These can also be manually installed from the Microsoft Store if needed:

On older versions of Windows and on Wine, the Google WebP codec can be installed for WebP support.

For JPEG XL support, you can install jxl-winthumb.

Note

When using newer or less common image formats, you may need to specify the file extension explicitly when configuring artwork sources in Display preferences (rather than use .*).
