Convert images on upload to webp?

[jminer]

I run a fairly image heavy forum and would like to cut down on storage and bandwidth costs. Is there any way we can convert an image to webp during upload?

We run the imagemagick plugin now to let us upload gifs and it uploads and displays webp files fine. I'd like to be able to convert a .png or .jpg to a .webp.

We run fairly high compression in the settings today which helps with bandwidth but the full size file is still stored in uploads.

@jminer I have my own homebrew plugin for this purpose. But it's actually used to reduce bandwidth and keeps original image untouched along with webp-version.

You can replace your images with webp completely, but you'll have to keep your code up-to-date with new nodebb versions.

@denism7 I like this idea- you have it somewhere you can share?
