How to convert a .png file to a .webp using the commandline
This will give you the chance to convert a .png file to .webp when ever you want without using a 3rd party website.
- #homebrew
- #bash
- #image convertion
- #image optimisation
First of you will need to install webp thru you commandline using this command
brew install webp
After that you will need to `cd` into the directory that you image resides. And after that you will need to write this command.
cwebp -q 80 example.png -o example.webp
`cwebp` stands for compression of the file.
`-q` is the flag for declaring the quality of the image were you will enter a number from 1 to 100. Google recommends that you atleast have a quality value of 80.
`example.webp` is were you state the image file you want to convert.
`-o` is used for declaring what the output should be of the `cwebp` command.
So if you write `-o example.webp` you will get a image with the file name example.webp but if you want it to go elsewere in your filesystem just write the disired path.
