Manipulate WebP images in Python

Question

I'm looking for something like PIL (Python Imaging Library), which sadly doesn't support WebP images.

I'd like to be able to do resizes and crops. Or at least convert to JPEG and then I can work it with PIL.

Answer 1

imagemagick's convert tool, version 6.5.7-8 or better, can manipulate WebP images.

Also, Google provides an encoder and decoder for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

Answer 2

Take a look at: http://code.google.com/p/python-webm/

I was able to walk through the test file to see how they were doing it.
