Hello,
I have a question about webp format in photoshop. I want to export many files at once in webp format in Photoshop but I don't find the webp format in photoshop options. Is it normal?
Best regards
WebP was introduced in Ps2022 as a native Save As (a Copy) option, not under Export As/Quick Export. You will either need to set up a batch action to save directly to WebP or to convert from PNG to WebP or use a custom script to save or convert to WebP.
In previous versions, there were 3rd party plugins from Google or other developers.
Here is a batch script to save as WebP.
Features:
* Optionally run an action (edit the code to enable)
* Optionally ask to overwrite existing files (edit the code to enable)
* Set an input and output folder
* Set supported input file types (edit the code)
* Automatically converts non-RGB mode to sRGB space, 8 bpc
* RGB files automatically converted to 8 bpc
* Option to convert RGB mode to sRGB space (edit the code to enable)
* WebP lossy format, 75% quality (larger size), all metadata and PSD

If I do this as a batch action theres no way to set the images for example to be about 50kb upon output is there? The images in my folder that are to be convered range from 90kb to 20mb

Not with this code.
To hit a target size on drive, the script would need to save, check the size and resave multiple times with decreasing quality levels to try to hit the target. This is certainly possible, however, it's obviously time consuming.

So much variables this depends on. First try to make test saves, don't save with extra data options. So no extras, no xnpndata etc. find the correct file size. Than it very much depends per image. The more color data is in your image, the heavier it is. By this I mean. When there are many colors and tints and hues, an image tends to be bigger
