bsx Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hello, I am glad to see that Photo 2 can now save WEBP formats. Yesterday I had a lot of images to convert, but unfortunately there is no WEBP format to choose from in the batch job export. The dialog is unchanged from V1, so I went back to using XNVIEW MP. This does a good job.

wheeleran Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 would love this too. I've been experimenting with XnConvert; is there any particular difference with XnView, or is that just an all-in-one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, there ist no difference in converting images. I don't use XnConvert. XnView (I use XNVIEW MP) is a all in one Solution, a photo viewer, image manager, image converter for all plattforms (Windows, MacOS and Linux).

wheeleran Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 thanks, nice to know. still can't solve my problem, which is why i'm trawling the forums: any webP i create in Affinity shows only the default 'Open With' program icon, in my case the microsoft Edge browser icon. I'm on Windows 11. any webP i download from the internet renders the image thumbnail correctly, but not Affinity created images. any suggestions? i've installed the google codec, i've deleted the thumbnail cache, i'm out of ideas.

simonartist Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Same here, I need to replace all the files to WebP format. Yes it is disappointing not having this in Version 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nezumi Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Same here. I was actually surprised why WEBP isnt there. Please add this format to batch job export options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends, XNviewMP's version 0.94.3 (...it's latest version for MacOS 10.11.6 - El Capitan) cores exactly on webp format files, it can't correctly show, preview and handle those!

2ddpainter Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) as @fde101 mentioned below, you generally can't export WEBP in Photo 2 so the Macro Recorder I mentioned is not helpful Edited March 4, 2023 by 2ddpainter Wrong assumption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 39 minutes ago, 2ddpainter said: There are also free and paid macro recorders out there. With these, you might be able to do the same from Affinity Photo 2. You seem to have misunderstood the problem. Affinity Photo 2 already has built-in batch conversion capabilities. What is missing is the ability to export files in the WebP format. You can't use an external macro utility to automate telling the program to do something that you can't manually tell it to do.

nezumi Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I am grateful for some alternative but ultimately we would love to see that inside of Affinity. WEBP format is supported, batch job is there - all we need is adding that webp format as an option in batch job. Would really be very helpful.
