I understand. https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download There is a set of command-line utilities, a library with source, and a codec for Windows Imaging Component which has no parallel in Linux that I am aware of. (save imlib2 and friends) I don't know any project that uses image formats in any way and does not link directly with libpng, libjpeg, lib(un)gif, or other directly supporting libraries that are tied to individual formats. There is an evas webp loader on eina, which is no help to Gnome or KDE users, and there are dozens if not hundreds of projects that probably need support to be added. Don't know how ubiquitous Windows Imaging Component is in MS-land, but it seems like a much easier problem to have solved.
