Use File → Export → Export As to batch-export multiple files in WebP format

I’m trying to use File → Export → Export As… to batch-export multiple files in WebP format. In Photoshop version 27.2.0, the format dropdown only shows PNG, JPG, and GIF. How can I enable WebP as an export option without having to add a script?

Here is what I see:

    Export As is single-document, yeah — there's no built-in multi-file batch for it. The usual workaround is an Action: record yourself doing one Export As to WebP, then run it across the whole folder with File > Automate > Batch. If you need per-file settings tweaked, a small JSX script driving the Export As machinery does it — the ScriptingListener plugin can capture the exact descriptor so you don't have to hand-write it.

    Without a script , you need to create an action, then run the action via the batch command.

    WebP is not available as an export option. You would have to use a script or another application.
