Bulk conversions?

[Linda Cannon]

Is there a way to convert all files in a directory at once? Sorry if I'm missing something simple.

The tools in libwebp don't directly support this, but we have examples for both windows command prompt (or batch files) and unix shell:

Thanks for the tips. If I use either the mogrify command or the webp command in a Windows shell, how do I ensure that the right settings are used during the conversion? At the moment, I’m use the following command to convert. Doing this individually for each file is very tedious!

cwebp C:\Users\webimages\Connector_VP5.png -q 100 -lossless -o Connector_VP5.webp

 

Would something like this work?

mogrify -format webp -q 100 -lossless -o /path/to/folder/*

 

Windows shell:

 

> for /R . %I in (*.jpg) do ( cwebp.exe %I -q 100 -lossless -o %~fnI.webp )

Close, but mogrify (ImageMagick) uses -quality, setting that to 100 will use lossless mode for webp. You can try the following if the current directory holds the image files you want to convert:

`mogrify -format webp -quality 100 -path output-folder *`

 

 

Windows shell:

This should work, though it looks like you have a png in your example command, so you'll want to update *.jpg to *.png.

James, thanks! It worked!
