A simple bash script that uses ImageMagick to generate low-quality image placeholders (LQIPs) and WebP variants of all images in a given directory.
- Install ImageMagick (
sudo apt-get install imagemagick). - Install the WebP libraries:
sudo apt-get install webp(or download the binaries). - Clone this repo.
- Make the script executable:
chmod u+x webqip.sh. - Copy the file to
/usr/local/bin:sudo cp webqip.sh /usr/local/bin/webqip(you can rename the script if you want). Alternatively, you may wish to create a symlink to it in case you ever update the script in the future:sudo ln -s ~/path/to/webqip/webqip.sh /usr/bin/webqip.
