WebP support for animated prototyping and export

UP - Our team is needing WebP support built in as well.

Native support please. Keeping the thread request alive.

Aside from SVG, there’s practically no reason to use another format on the web, especially with its alpha support. So there’s no reason to not include it as an export option; and as others have said, the compression needs to be right as I’ve seen different results with different WebP conversion tools.

Looking at this thread I just discovered that I commented a year ago; the TinyImage plugin still costs more than Figma itself and I just can’t (although their compression is good).

@Hoby-Van-Hoose — This is good; the compression output is similar if not identical to TinyImage (i.e. good quality at smaller sizes).

One thing I do not like is that it’s limited to only one image at a time. If this could just do multi-image drag-n-drop that would rule.

@IraX Yes, the single image issue was something I suffered through until I had to do a very large set of images. I saved myself some sanity points by using the Pixelied converter

The output quality is not quite as good but it was the closest I could find that supported batch.

I also tried to contact who might own webp-converter.com and got no reply. I’d really like to know what compression engine they use and if it’s open source.

how to convert my webp file into png?

Yes please! To improve the performance on mobile we need webp. Logically, this should be a default option for Figma export. 🚀

Hi!, it would be super helpful if I could export my assets into WebP format.

Hi @Josep_99, Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I found the other community member asking for something similar here. So I merged your post to have all the feedback in one place!

I did a quick search in the community and found plugin that might be handy for you meanwhile: TinyImage Compressor
Please feel free to explore on your own!

Thank you,

An important opportunity, look forward to it.
