homebrew-webp

A complete build of libwebp, including all CLI tools.

Last built/tested on macOS 14.0 ”Sonoma” with Xcode 15.0.0 on both Intel and Apple Silicon CPUs.

Why not the formula from homebrew-core?

The formula from homebrew-core disables many of the CLI tools that libwebp provides.

brew unlink webp
brew install skyzyx/webp/webp-full

Or, if you’re debugging with a local clone (or you’re Future Ryan and you’re trying to remember how to do this):

brew install --verbose --debug --build-from-source ./Formula/webp-full.rb

(You might need to use reinstall instead.)

Includes the following binaries:

Binary	Description
`cwebp`	Compress an image file to a WebP file.
`dwebp`	Decompress a WebP file to a PNG, PAM, PPM, or PGM image file.
