README

WebP (.webp) comes to Laravel

About

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster.

WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.

Lossless WebP supports transparency (also known as alpha channel) at a cost of just 22% additional bytes. For cases when lossy RGB compression is acceptable, lossy WebP also supports transparency, typically providing 3× smaller file sizes compared to PNG.

cwebp compresses an image using the WebP format. Input format can be either PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP or raw Y'CbCr samples.

Before Installation

New Driver Is Available: php-gd

Currently, supports 2 drivers:

• php-gd - Only needs gd - PHP extension to be installed
• cwebp - uses Google native cwebp cli command

Note: If you choose to use cwebp driver you will need to install WebP before installing this package.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require buglinjo/laravel-webp

For Laravel <= 5.4

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Buglinjo\LaravelWebp\WebpServiceProvider::class,

You can use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your aliases:

'Webp' => Buglinjo\LaravelWebp\Facades\Webp::class,

Publish config file

You will need to publish config file to add cwebp global path.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Buglinjo\LaravelWebp\WebpServiceProvider" --tag=config

In config/laravel-webp.php config file you should set cwebp global path.

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default Quality
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This is a default quality unless you provide while generation of the WebP
    |
    */
    'default_quality' => 70,

    /*

        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        | If you choose cwebp driver it is required to specify the path to the executable.
        |
        */
        'cwebp' => [
            'path' => '/usr/local/bin/cwebp',
        ],

        /*
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        | Cwebp Driver
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        | If you choose PHP GD driver no configuration is necessary.
        |
        */
        'php-gd' => [
            //
        ],
    ],
];

Usage

Webp::make(<UploadedFile image>)->save(<output path>, <quality :optional>);

Note: UploadedFile class instance is created when file is retrieved using laravel request.

Example:

    $webp = Webp::make($request->file('image'));

    if ($webp->save(public_path('output.webp'))) {
        // File is saved successfully
    }

where <quality> is 0 - 100 integer. 0 - lowest quality, 100 - highest quality.

Default quality is 70

Also you can set quality by chaining ->quality(<quality>) between WebP::make(<UploadedFile image>) and ->save(<output path>);
