img2webp

A simple script to traverse through a directory and make a .webp version of source image files.

Prequisites

• Install cwebp

Limitations

This is just something I built to play around with Rust and to streamline a recurring task for an Android app. With that, it's currently limited to my specific use case. Buyer beware. The script:

• Only targets .png files
• Has only been tested on MacOS (I use the word tested lightly)
• Currently doesn't accept any cwebp arguments
• Does not support symbolically linked files

In addition to those tasks I might one day:

• Spawn processes concurrently (though it's pretty quick with ~100 images ranging in size from ~ 500KB - 2.5MB)
• Support deleting source files
• Support regex to find files rather than targeting all png
