On Ubuntu 12.04 ImageMagick doesn't seem to support webp.
convert flyer.png flyer.webp
Creates a png file with webp extension.
On webp docs is stated that ImageMagick does support webp
$ convert --version`
Version: ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 2012-08-17 Q16
I have these both installed:
libwebp-dev
– Lossy compression of digital photographic images.libwebp2
– Lossy compression of digital photographic images.
Also, convert can't decode a webp file.
What's wrong, and is this an Ubuntu bug?
