Feature request: webp by default #3685

Open u07 opened 1 year ago

u07 commented 1 year ago

Hello! Requesting for a really nice but now missing feature. In system.yaml now we have:

images:
  default_image_quality: 85

It would be cool to have something like this:

images:
  default_image_quality: 85
  default_image_format: webp           # (jpg | png | webp | none)

The core now has all the code needed, I mean .format('webp') filter. But it has to be written manually all the time.

webp is chrome default image extension for web app. and grav by default has been support it.

@mdestafadilah, that's right, no problem with support from chrome or grav. So there shouldn't be troubles with implementing this. If it is already implemented, please let me know! Tnx

What I'm talking about is a possible new feature that will convert all the images to webp on the fly as they are served to visitors. That will save a lot of bandwidth and code lines.

aha, i get what you want, try some plugin some one has been created for you.

https://github.com/greenrivers/grav-plugin-webp $ bin/gpm install webp

have a nice day!

Thanks, but that plugin offers manual conversion only. It's not on-the-fly. Just imagine doing it after each new publishing.

generally speaking converting the image type is more processor intensive than simply resizing and saving in the current format (default). The other issue is that webp can sometimes result in larger files, especially if the files have been optimized with image compression tools.

Probalby the better and more flexible solution is to use something like cloudflare that automaticaly converts to webp (if you enable that option), and also provides added benefit of being a CDN for those images (as well as other static assets).
