Python bindings for WebP
Project description
Installation
pip install webp
Requirements
libwebp (tested with v0.6.0)
Install libwebpmux and libwebpdemux components as well.
Check out the Dockerfile for steps to build from source on Ubuntu.
Python 3 (tested with v3.6)
cffi (tested with 1.10.0)
Pillow (tested with v4.1.1)
numpy (tested with v1.12.1)
Usage
import webp
Simple API
# Save an image
webp.save_image(img, 'image.webp', quality=80)
# Load an image
img = webp.load_image('image.webp', 'RGBA')
# Save an animation
webp.save_images(imgs, 'anim.webp', fps=10, lossless=True)
# Load an animation
imgs = webp.load_images('anim.webp', 'RGB')
Advanced API
# Encode a PIL image to WebP in memory, with encoder hints
pic = webp.WebPPicture.from_pil(img)
config = WebPConfig.new(preset=webp.WebPPreset.PHOTO, quality=70)
buf = pic.encode(config).buffer()
# Read a WebP file and decode to a BGR numpy array
with open('image.webp', 'rb') as f:
webp_data = webp.WebPData.from_buffer(f.read())
arr = webp_data.decode(color_mode=WebPColorMode.BGR)
# Save an animation
enc = webp.WebPAnimEncoder.new(width, height)
timestamp_ms = 0
for img in imgs:
pic = webp.WebPPicture.from_pil(img)
enc.encode_frame(pic, timestamp_ms)
timestamp_ms += 250
anim_data = enc.assemble(timestamp_ms)
with open('anim.webp', 'wb') as f:
f.write(anim_data.buffer())
# Load an animation
with open('anim.webp', 'rb') as f:
webp_data = webp.WebPData.from_buffer(f.read())
dec = webp.WebPAnimDecoder.new(webp_data)
for arr, timestamp_ms in dec.frames():
# `arr` contains decoded pixels for the frame
# `timestamp_ms` contains the _end_ time of the frame
pass
