WebPShop - Photoshop plug-in for opening and saving WebP images

[Yannis Guyon]

At last! This was much requested: the Google WebP team is releasing WebPShop, an open source Photoshop plug-in for handling the WebP format.

Check out the project on the Google developer site: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/webpshop or on github: https://github.com/webmproject/WebPShop

Supported features as of today:

• Open, Open As: read an image from a .webp file,
• Save, Save As: write an image to a .webp file, with a GUI to tune encoding parameters.

This is still an early version, with some limitations outlined in the readme. Patches and feedback are welcome via Github.

The following steps describe how to install and use it:

1. Download the plug-in (for example, go to https://github.com/webmproject/WebPShop, click on "Clone or download", then on "Download ZIP"),
2. Extract the archive if needed (Right Click > "Extract All…" on Windows, "Open" on Mac),
3. Verify the architecture of your Photoshop installation (x64 will be assumed during the remaining steps),
4. Open the directory containing the last WebPShop version for your operating system (as of today, "bin\WebPShop_0_2_1_Win_x64" for Windows, "bin/WebPShop_0_2_1_Mac_x64" for Mac),
5. Copy the plug-in ("WebPShop.8bi" for Windows, "WebPShop.plugin" for Mac),
6. Paste it into your Photoshop installation directory (usually "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop\Plug-ins" for Windows, "Applications/Adobe Photoshop/Plug-ins" for Mac),
7. Restart Photoshop,
8. "Open" and "Save" menu commands should now show WebP files.

Enjoy!

Just saw this, good job! Guess I can retire my old non-previewing plug-in.

Thanks Brendan :)

You were one of the earliest folks supporting the ecosystem and we always appreciated it!
