Convert entire image folders to WebP locally with one CLI command

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A new open-source CLI tool, @assetopt/cli, lets developers batch-convert JPG and PNG images to WebP format locally with a single command. The tool claims WebP is 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPEGs or PNGs at matched quality. It runs entirely offline, preserving original files and supporting recursive folder processing.

Useful for dev workflows, but the tool's value depends on adoption beyond its creator's own needs.
