Adding WebP preset to Save For Web?

Hi,

 

Whenever I'm working on a file, 99% of the time I use the Save for Web shortcut [CMD+Option+Shift+S] to export my files.

 

Right now I'm working on preparing some images for a website and I need to export them in the WebP format. 

 

I know that I can export to WebP through the "Save as..." window, but that doesn't let me adjust the scale/dimension and see the output file size, which is a bit annoying because I need to have that control to make sure the file is the right size. 

 

Is there a way to add a WebP preset to the list of presets in the "Save for Web" window?

 

 

Thanks!

    The dialog box Save for Web should not be removed. This is a feature, which I use very often as web designer. Also, I am using this for small pixel graphics. Best way to minimize file sizes as possible.

    And I upvoted this thread, because I miss this feature, too. I need a preview window to see how the final quality is it (after setting the compression speed and quality).

    So please, don't remove this dialog box and add WebP format. IMPORTANT and this is NO legacy!

    Please & thanks!

      You can use an action and the batch command or a batch script:

      I have heavy image files on my website, and I want to convert them to WebP format to reduce their size. My website is 4slash. Can you please check and advise on how to convert the images to WebP using Adobe Photoshop software? I am not sure how to do it

        Hi @toldbysun this post has some options, one of which is to create an action as you said, with some contextual options for image size before you Save a Copy...

          Thank you all. Welp, I guess I'm going to have to figure out a script or an action myself. Thanks for your help!

              It’s »Save for Web (Legacy)« … meaning the feature is not being developped further and might even be removed altogether in the future. 

              So there does not seem to be a realistic hope for this request to be implemented. 

               

              If there is a limited number of settings you use regularly I would recommend automating those with a Script or Scripts.

                "Export As" is the replacement for SFW, so a feature request for that should have better chances. However, after several years, Export is still unfinished, with several long standing bugs, and still missing essential features. All I ask is that they finish it befote adding new stuff...

                  »replacement« may be a strong term (edit: as you imply with »still unfinished«) or does »Export As« allow exporting animated gifs yet? 

                  Well, »hope springs eternal« or something like that …
