Which image-viewers in linux support the `webp` image format?
Here are the Linux image-viewers, that display webp images:
- Chrome, Firefox
65+ |ESR ~68.0
& all major browsers - eog, with webp-pixbuf-loader
- feh, with imlib2-webp (unconfirmed)
- GIMP
ver 2.10
- GraphicsMagick
- gThumb
from trusty-release or above ~3.4.3
- Gwenview //from KDE
- ImageMagick
- nomacs
- PhotoQt
- qview
- Thunar // in old system, update mime-info
- vwebp -part of libwebp
- XnViewMP
and others from wiki
In 16.04
display 'vid:*.webp'
Since 16.04 imagemagick does support webp
, although it apparently delegates decoding to webp
, so webp
is needed:
sudo apt-get install webp
If you are looking for GUI applications, consider GIMP or ImageMagick.
If you have installed the webp
package, you could use vwebp file.webp
to view the image, and dwebp file.webp -o file.png
to convert it to a png file.
