Framemaker 2019 WebP Image Import

Hi There,

 

Currently, our company is planning to upgrade our FM 11 to FM 19 or FM 20. The challenge we foresee with this upgrade is pertaining to images that we have in our existing FM11 documentation. We mostly have images with .jpg, .jpeg, and .png formats

 

These images are nearly 50+ (approx). Now, what we want to know is if we upgrade to FM19 or FM20 and use WebP Image import feature, how can we plan for .jpg to WebP conversion?

 

From my knowledge of FM, I understand that FM19 or FM20 won't be able to convert .jpg to WebP and since this is company documentation, so we don't want to rely on online converting tools either.

 

Can anyone suggest me quick fixes or workarounds to tackle this scenario?

 

I will appreciate your help !

    Hm … maybe there is a misunderstanding?

    You can continue to use your existing JPEG and PNG in FrameMaker 2019/2020. FM 2019 and 2020 both fully support JPEG and PNG images.

    The support for WebP in FM 2019/2020 is an additional supported image format.

     

    If you consider converting your existing images to WebP, you can do that with Adobe PhotoShop with the WebP plugin (for more details, see here).

    Stefan, Thanks for your respone. 


    Maybe, I wrote it other way round. We are thinking of converting our existing .jpg images to WebP and use WebP import option.


    Apart from Photoshop, can you suggest any other workaround?

    I did a little bit of googling and found this: https://anywebp.com/software.html

    But I have not tested it myself.
