Convert to WebP

Convert image files in formats like .png, and .jpg to web-optimized .webp format by right-clicking on the files in MacOS Finder and selecting Quick Actions -> Convert to WebP.

Dependencies:

• webp. Install with brew install webp using Homebrew. The workflow assumes that the cwebp binary is in /opt/homebrew/bin/cwebp location. ALso, the default output quality is seto 80 (which I think is fair).

Installation

1. Download the ZIP archive of this repo from the Code dropdown on github.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Rename the folder Convert-To-WebP-Workflow-main to Convert-To-WebP.webflow. The icon will change to "..." circumscribed by a circle.
4. Double click on the icon to install.
