Thank you.

I don't understand. That question seems to only talk about .JPG images on the web. How would any of that work for .webp format images and get them into a variable in MATLAB?

Try this. Adapt as needed:

% If you enter this address
% 'https://i0.wp.com/www.bitsandpieces.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/unnamed-15.png?resize=600%2C334&ssl=1');
% If, in your browser, you right click, it will ask you to save the image as a .webp format file.
% But what you really want is a variable in MATLAB and from there you can save it as any file format you want.
imageURL = 'https://i0.wp.com/www.bitsandpieces.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/unnamed-15.png?resize=600%2C334&ssl=1';
[indexedImage, cmap] = imread(imageURL);
rgbImage = ind2rgb(indexedImage, cmap);
imshow(rgbImage);

% imwrite(rgbImage, 'Mistakes.png')
