Description

I want to use WEBP images, but I'd like to fallback them to PNG, JPEG or whatever file extension it is. So I need both versions of each file, but I'm not being able to make image-webpack-loader or webpack itself to save that way. Neither searching for a way (maybe I'm using the wrong search terms?).

All I need is two different files, one converted to WEBP, and the other just optimized.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for the help

Research direction
Investigate if image webpack loader supports emitting both WEBP and original formats via configuration. Check the loader's options and documentation. Consider using two separate webpack rules, one for WEBP and one for optimized original, or using an additional plugin like imagemin webp webpack plugin. Look at the repository's existing issues and PRs for similar requests.
