homebrew-webp

A complete build of libwebp, including all CLI tools.

Last built/tested on macOS 14.0 ”Sonoma” with Xcode 15.0.0 on both Intel and Apple Silicon CPUs.

Why not the formula from homebrew-core?

The formula from homebrew-core disables many of the CLI tools that libwebp provides.

Installation

brew unlink webp
brew install skyzyx/webp/webp-full

Or, if you’re debugging with a local clone (or you’re Future Ryan and you’re trying to remember how to do this):

brew install --verbose --debug --build-from-source ./Formula/webp-full.rb

(You might need to use reinstall instead.)
