Webp

Overview ​

Generate animated images with higher quality and smaller sizes than GIF.

As GIF, these options also apply:

• fps: Frames per second, lower this to reduce GIF size
• crop: Crop part of the video
• scale: Use the default scaler bicubic or lanczos.

Webp-only options:

• -lossless: Whether to use lossy or lossless compression
• -compression_level: [0; 6] default=4. High is better quality.
• -quality: [0; 100] default=75. Only applies to lossy compression. High is better quality.

By default the animated image does not loop.

• -loop: 0 for infinite loop, >0 number of times to loop.

Lossless ​

Only RGB is supported.

ffmpeg \
  -ss 00:10:29.100 -t 1.1 -i input.mp4 \
  -vf 'fps=25,crop=600:400:660:340' \
  -vcodec libwebp -lossless 1 -compression_level 6 -loop 0 \
  -y output.webp

Lossy ​

Only YUV420 is supported. Convert RGB to YUV with -pix_fmt yuv420p.

ffmpeg \
  -ss 00:10:29.100 -t 1.1 -i input.mp4 \
  -vf 'fps=25,crop=600:400:660:340' \
  -vcodec libwebp -lossless 0 -compression_level 6 -quality 85 -loop 0 -pix_fmt yuv420p \
  -y output.webp
