grunt-webp

Convert your images to WebP format.

Getting Started

To install this plugin, open up the terminal, cd to your project's root directory and run the following command:

npm install grunt-webp --save-dev

This plugin depends on WebP's cwebp encoder. You'll need to install the WebP Package or use webp-bin

In your Gruntfile.js file add the following line:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-webp');

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

Settings

• binpath (string) Location of the cwebp executable, default 'cwebp'. Use forward slashes as directory separator.
• quality (float) Quality factor (0:small..100:big).
• alphaQuality (integer) Transparency-compression quality (0..100)
• preset (string) Preset setting, one of: default, photo, picture, drawing, icon, text
• compressionMethod (integer) Compression method (0=fast, 6=slowest).
• segments (integer) Number of segments to use (1..4).
• psnr (float) Target PSNR (in dB. typically: 42).
• sns (integer) Spatial Noise Shaping (0:off, 100:max).
• filterStrength (integer) filter strength (0=off..100).
• filterSharpness (integer) Filter sharpness (0:most .. 7:least sharp).
• simpleFilter (boolean) Use simple filter (default is false).
• partitionLimit (integer) Limit quality to fit the 512k limit on the first partition (0=no degradation ... 100=full).
• analysisPass (integer) Analysis pass number (1..10).
• crop (array) Crop picture with the given rectangle. [x, y, width, height]
• resizeCrop (array) Resize picture (after any cropping). [width, height]
• multiThreading (boolean) Use multi-threading if available.
• lowMemory (boolean) Reduce memory usage (slower encoding).
• alphaMethod (string) Transparency-compression method (0..1).
• alphaFilter (string) Predictive filtering for alpha plane. One of: none, fast (default) or best.
