A good tool for converting PNG and JPEG to WebP is cwebp from Google’s libwebp package.
Why use cwebp
- Designed specifically for WebP conversion
- Supports both PNG and JPEG inputs
- Gives good control over quality and compression
- Widely used and reliable
Example
cwebp input.jpg -o output.webp
cwebp input.png -o output.webp
Install
- macOS:
brew install webp - Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install webp - Windows: download libwebp tools from Google or use package managers like Chocolatey
If you want, I can also suggest:
- a GUI tool
- a batch conversion script
