Rough convert jpeg to webp in linux

WebP is a new image format that provides lossy compression for photographic images.

Here i’m providing the way to convert a jpeg image to webp without any options.

Download the webp package(see below for link)

Extract the files of the package. I extracted it in home folder and renamed the folder to “webp”.

Go to the folder

$cd webp

Lets assume you have picture “cyber.jpg” in webp folder

Now lets convert “cyber.jpg” to “cyber.webp”

The following command converts it

$ ./cwebp cyber.jpg -o cyber.webp

Now you will have a file named “cyber.webp” in the webp folder
