Outputs or saves a WebP version of the given image.

Elenco dei parametri

image

Una risorsa immagine, restituita da una delle funzioni di creazione immagine, come imagecreatetruecolor().

file

Il percorso in cui salvare il file. Se non è impostato o è null, viene restituito il flusso raw dell'immagine.

quality

quality ranges from 0 (worst quality, smaller file) to 100 (best quality, biggest file).

Valori restituiti

Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.

Attenzione

However, if libgd fails to output the image, this function returns true.

Log delle modifiche

Versione Descrizione
8.0.0 image expects a GdImage instance now; previously, a valid gd resource was expected.

Esempi

Example #1 Saving an WebP file

<?php
// Create a blank image and add some text

$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);

imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'WebP with PHP', $text_color);

// Save the image
imagewebp($im, 'php.webp');

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>

To convert a PNG image to Webp, we can do this:

<?php

// Image
$dir = 'img/countries/';
$name = 'brazil.png';
$newName = 'brazil.webp';

// Create and save
$img = imagecreatefrompng($dir . $name);
imagepalettetotruecolor($img);
imagealphablending($img, true);
imagesavealpha($img, true);
imagewebp($img, $dir . $newName, 100);
imagedestroy($img);

?>

WebP is not yet supported by Safari, although they are experimenting with it.

Check out https://caniuse.com/#search=webp for the latest support information.
