png2webp Using Python

PNG to WebP conversion refers to the process of converting images from the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format to the WebP format.

PNG is a lossless image format widely used for storing and displaying images on the web. It supports transparency and produces high-quality images. However, PNG files can be relatively large in size, which can impact website loading times.

WebP, on the other hand, is a modern image format developed by Google. It utilizes both lossy and lossless compression techniques to achieve smaller file sizes without significant loss of image quality. WebP images can result in faster page loading speeds and reduced bandwidth usage.

Converting PNG images to WebP format can be beneficial for web development and optimization. It allows you to reduce the file size of images while maintaining acceptable image quality, resulting in improved web performance and faster loading times for websites.

WebP Converter

  • This is a Python script that converts WebP images to PNG format.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • PIL (Python Imaging Library)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/vivifyhealthcare/png2webp.git

  2. Install the required dependencies:

    pip install pillow

    pip install webp

Usage

  1. Place your WebP images in the input directory.

  2. Uncomment the function as per user requirement

    • if you want convert a single file --> image_converstion()
    • or you want to convert bulk files --> bluk_converstion()

  3. The converted PNG images will be saved in the output directory.
