grunt-webp-compress

Convert images to WebP format with the encoder tool cwebp.

This grunt plugin will download the cwebp binary for your system (Linux, Mac or Windows) from a mirror of the official webp downloads repository.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-webp-compress --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-webp-compress');

Examples

Generate webp images in the same directory:

grunt.initConfig({
  cwebp: {
    images: {
      options: {
        arguments: [ '-q', 50 ],
        concurrency: 20
      },
      files: [
        { src: [ 'public/images/*.jpg', 'public/images/*.png' ] }
      ]
    }
  }
});

Put webp images into another directory:

grunt.initConfig({
  cwebp: {
    images: {
      files: {
        'public/images/webp/': [
          'public/images/*.jpg',
          'public/images/*.png'
        ]
      }
    }
  }
});

File-to-file:

grunt.initConfig({
  cwebp: {
    images: {
      files: {
        'public/images/webp.webp': 'public/images/jpg.jpg'
      }
    }
  }
});
