Solution

dwebp — dwebp decompresses WebP files into PNG, PAM, PPM, or PGM images. Animated WebP files are not supported. More information: <https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/dwebp/>.

Convert a WebP file into a PNG file:

dwebp {{path/to/input.webp}} -o {{path/to/output.png}}

Convert a WebP file into a specific filetype:

dwebp {{path/to/input.webp}} -bmp|-tiff|-pam|-ppm|-pgm|-yuv -o {{path/to/output}}

Convert a WebP file, using multi-threading if possible:

dwebp {{path/to/input.webp}} -o {{path/to/output.png}} -mt

Convert a WebP file, but also crop and scale at the same time:

dwebp {{input.webp}} -o {{output.png}} -crop {{x_pos}} {{y_pos}} {{width}} {{height}} -scale {{width}} {{height}}

Convert a WebP file and flip the output:

dwebp {{path/to/input.webp}} -o {{path/to/output.png}} -flip

Convert a WebP file and don't use in-loop filtering to speed up the decoding process:

dwebp {{path/to/input.webp}} -o {{path/to/output.png}} -nofilter
