Compress webp

Post by standus »

I have this command:
nconvert.exe -overwrite -no_auto_ext -resize 100% 100% myimage.webp
for compress image, but I got alway s error:
Error: Don't know how to read this picture (myimage.webp)","","** NCONVERT v7.121 (c) 1991-2022 Pierre-E Gougelet (Sep 6 2022\/10:41:00) **"," Version for Windows Xp\/Vista\/7 x64 (All rights reserved)","** This is freeware software (for non-commercial use)","","my_error_exit...<Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x52 0x49>

JPG and PNG files work perfect. What is wrong that webp file not work?

You seem to be missing this compression term:

Code: Select all

-q value          : JPEG/FPX/WIC/PDF/JPEG2K/WebP quality (default : 85)
...but I get this error:

Code: Select all

Could you upload an example webp file that can't be opened for Pierre to test?

You have to copy libwebp.dll into the Plugins subdirectory of your NConvert installation.
