• Writing WebP files in PHP, without GD or libwebp

  Published 20 September 2026

  I’ve published PicoWebP, a WebP encoder written in PHP that works without GD, Imagick, libwebp or cwebp. It preserves transparency and colour profiles, supports resumable conversion, and trades speed for the ability to run on hosts without native image tools.

• Safe WebP Queue 1.0.1: when your host can’t create WebP, your browser can

  Safe WebP Queue 1.0.0 adds browser conversion for hosts that cannot write WebP. Making it fit the existing plugin also meant fixing quality settings, rejecting stale results and coordinating browser work with the server queue.
