-title: "Batch Converting Images to webp with macOS Automator"
-date: 2021-10-15

-
-A great deal of my time working as a web/UI designer is spent exporting and/or converting images for software products and websites. Although a lot of modern applications can render image conversions at build time, a custom conversion is sometimes requested for an image to be set as `webp`.
-
-You *could* download one of the many native apps from the Mac App Store to do this for you - but why not create your own script and run it with a simple right-click directly inside Finder? **Let's do just that!**
-
-## Basic requirements
-
-**Important!**: As of this time of writing, the official `libwebp` package release is *libwebp-1.2.1-mac-10.15*. If this has been updated since then, change the command below to match that of the proper release version.
-
-1) First you will need to download the `libwebp` package to your Downloads folder: [developers.google.com/speed/webp/download](https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download) 
-  - *Look for the "Download for macOS link"*
-
-2) Next we will need to copy the `cwebp` folder to our `/usr/local/bin` directory:
-  - Open macOS Terminal
-  - Run `sudo cp /Downloads/libwebp-1.2.1-mac-10.15/bin/cwebp /usr/local/bin`
-  - *Note:* if the `/usr/local/bin` directory doesn't exist, simply create it by running: `sudo cd /usr/local && mkdir bin`
-
-## Creating our custom Automator script
-
-1) Open the macOS Automator from the Applications folder
-
-2) Select `Quick Option` from the first prompt
-
-3) Set "Workflow receives current" to `image files`
-
-4) Set the label "in" to `Finder`
-
-5) From the left pane, select "Library > Utilities"
-
-6) From the presented choices in the next pane, drag and drop `Run Shell Script` into the far right pane
-
-7) Set the area "Pass input" to `as arguments`
-
-8) Enter the following code below as your script and type `⌘-S` to save (name it something like "Convert to webp")
-
-
-	for f in "$@"
-	do
-	/usr/local/bin/cwebp -q 85 "$f" -o "${f%.*}.webp"
-	done
-
-
-For visual reference, it should look something like this:
-
-<figure>
-<img src="/public/images/automator.png" alt="macOS Automator">
-<figcaption>(<a href="/public/images/automator.webp">link to hi-res image</a>)</figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-And when right-clicking an image file in the Finder window, it should now give you the option to convert:
-
-<figure>
-<img src="/public/images/automator-2.png" alt="Right click to convert">
-<figcaption>(<a href="/public/images/automator-2.webp">link to hi-res image</a>)</figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-## Making edits to your script
-
-If you ever have the need to edit this script (for example, changing the default `85` quality parameter), you will need to navigate to your `~/Library/Services` folder and open your custom webp Quick Action in the Automator application. 
-
-Simple as that!
-
-## Possible Hiccups
-
-I was contacted by the very helpful [Kev Quirk](https://kevq.uk) about a minor problem he encountered while following this tutorial. When trying to run `cwebp` he received the following error message:
-
-
-	cwebp cannot be opened because it's from an unverified developer
-
-
-Doing the next steps seemed to have fixed this issue for him:
-
-1. Click on the "Open in Finder" in the error message prompt
-2. Double-click on the `cwebp` utility to open in Terminal
-3. You'll then be prompted with a pop-up asking if you wish to execute
-
-After following these steps, the issue should be resolved.
