WebP Filetype (2019-10-19)

[null54 509]

This plugin allows Paint.NET to load and save Google's WebP format.

This plugin is bundled with Paint.NET 4.2.5 and later.

If you need the features from a newer version you can still install the plugin.
The plugin will override the bundled version if it has higher version number.

During testing it saved over 200KB vs JPEG at 95% quality.

(EER Edit) To install place all three dlls from the download in the FileTypes folder.

When the quality slider is 100 lossless compression is used.

This plugin is compatible with Paint.NET 4.2.X, 4.0.x and 3.5.11 depending on the version you download.

 

 

Download:

 

For Paint.NET 4.2.5 or later: WebPFileType_PDN_4.2+.zip

 

For Paint.NET 3.5.11 or 4.0.X: WebPFileType_PDN_3.5X.zip

 

If you are not sure download the 3.5X version.
It will work with Paint.NET 4.2+, but will not support any of the its new features.

Well if you're just gonna keep releasing what I'm working on I guess I should just not write plugins anymore

This should go in the first post. I'll paste it there for you.

Updated to use WebP version 0.1.3.

Updated to use WebP version 0.1.3.

Experimental code released to create lossless and alpha channel WebP files : http://code.google.c.../downloads/list

Any hope of getting and update to your plugin?

Alternatively, have your code call .exe files rather than building DLLs. That way whenever there's an update we can just drop new .exe files in to the filetype folder (assuming there are no breaking changes to parameters).

I will probably wait for the next stable release of the WebP libraries.

A few other bugs have been fixed, File version updated to 1.0.0.2.

Hopefully Rick will include this plugin in Paint.NET as we need .WebP support built-in. Irfanview 4.32 was released today, that has read/write support for WebP built-in now.

IrfanView supports WebP via a plugin. It makes no sense to add built-in support to any application as long as WebP is experimental and not defined in a standard. Just because Google has some power does not mean that the format is well-defined.

WebP v. 0.2.0 has been released. Is this plugin still developed?

[Ego Eram Reputo 2,409]

Author @null54 is still very active on the forum - so I guess (hope) so. I'm seriously considering dumping the JPG format for web photos in favor of WebP.

[null54 509]

Updated to use WebP version 0.2.0, File version updated to 1.0.0.3.

Using Paint.Net 3.5.10 with your 1.0.0.3 Version.

No Preview available and when saving an unknown error message pops up.

Also cant open the example files from the latest WebP Codec for Windows (v0.17) package wich is

using the libwebp 0.2.0.

Try it with a 320x240 photo, bmp & jpg.

Yep!

And no security access scanner is running.

Latest Windows Updates (Net.Framwork, etc) are installed.

Uninstalled and reinstalled Paint.Net. No other effects installed.

Only OptiPNG filetype installed.

Have you installed the VC2010 SP1 runtime that the plugin requires?
