Hi guys,

I wonder if there is a way to write a matadata into webp files in bulk? Any suggestions are welcome.

Many thanks,

Alex

Okay, that's probably going to require a complex script for PS then.

XnView and IrfanView can handle batch processing of such stuff easily. It's always useful to have such tools handy, especially since they are basically free.

I have thousands of webp files and they all should contain a different metadata which I have into a csv file. Is that possible with XnView or IrfanView? Currently the webp image has no info when I open it with PS. Please see the screenshot attached. Thanks

I’m going to suggest ExifTool, as you have so many images and a single line command can accomplish this, rather than hundreds of lines of scripting code.

The following blogpost has info on both export to and import from CSV. There are Adobe scripts mentioned, however, I'm not sure if WebP is supported as these scripts were written before Adobe supported this file format.

I'll post a link to an example when I dig it up... Edit:
