WebP Export ?

[adrienlacour]

Hi there,
Lightroom Classic can import WebP format but can't export WebP format right?
How do you guys export webp format : cloud conversion online?

Hey thanks for sharing!
Great I didn't see it.

Last week I also created a simple webp export plugin for Lightroom Classic: https://github.com/adrienlac69/lr-classic-webp

I was fed up with webp online conversion.

Is anyone tried my LR Classic plugin to export pics in WebP format?

In Lightroom 6.14 I get this error message when trying to use the plugin (all default settings). Sometimes a zero byte file is saved to the folder, but if I refresh the folder the file appears with an image icon and shows the correct size in bytes and pixels, and sometimes it shows as an image file directly, but always with the Warning error message.

If 'Existing Files:' is set to 'Ask what to do', this is ignored if there is already an image with that name in the folder.

No Metadata is saved in the file despite 'All Metadata' being selected (checked in ExifToolGui).

These were the settings.

There's nothing in the %APPDATA%\Adobe\Lightroom\6.14\Logs\ folder.

Sample WEBP file attached.

Is it fully compatible with 6.14 on W11?
