WebP is indeed quite a recent format and GIMP does not have official support in the stable 2.8.x versions. Nevertheless support has been recently added in development versions, and the last one of these has been released just today (GIMP 2.9.6): https://www.gimp.org/news/2017/08/24/gimp-2-9-6-released/ If you really need WebP support and are ok with trying a development version (which means it may have expected and unexpected bugs even though many of us actually find it quite stable), then you may give it a try: https://www.gimp.org/news/2017/08/24/gimp-2-9-6-released/ Note that we don't have all the installers for MacOS/Windows yet, but hopefully these should arrive shortly (the Windows one has already been made).
