PNG -> webp

For your specific case, I believe Picmal would be an excellent choice. Plus, it’s currently on sale for $5.00 on BundleHunt.

The slickest conversion app for my money right now is Consul. Simply by changing the file extension of your file(s), it knows how to convert them for you. It's one of those "how did nobody think of this before" kind of apps. https://getconsul.app Now, I'll also be "that guy". For the years, I have used a simple script to do this with ffmpeg or cwebp (command line). Then I just wrapped the script into a Finder Quick Action, and "it just works". It took 5 minutes to tinkering (not counting the 5 minutes install brew [which I did when I first got my Mac] and executing brew install ...)... Here is the script you can enter into Apple Automator. This version uses cwebp, but you could toggle it back to using ffmpeg. Open Automator. Create a new Quick Action. Drop in "Run Shell Script" from the Library. Toggle the workflow to operation on "image files" in "Finder". Paste this script in: #! /bin/zsh CWEBP="/opt/homebrew/bin/cwebp" RESULT="" for file in $*; do basename="${file%%.*}" ofile="$basename.webp" # echo "Convert $file => $ofile" ${CWEBP} -quiet -q 85 "$file" -o "$ofile" # ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -nostats -i "$file" -c:v libwebp -qscale 85 "$ofile" RESULT="$RESULT $ofile" done if [ -n "$RESULT" ]; then # echo WEBP:$RESULT created. echo "✓ Done: $ofile" fi Enjoy.

Well, recommending the right tool really depends on your specific workflow and how you prefer to handle image conversion. For image conversion by renaming the file extension, check Consul or Morpholder. If you prefer a more traditional app with advanced configuartion options, Pimosa or Permute are solid options. For CLI workflows, try ImageMagick. For batch image conversion, I suggest Image Stack or Picmal. And if you want automatic processing of images saved to folders or your clipboard, get Clop. All named tools support PNG → WebP conversion. The majority of these tools actually use ImageMagick under the hood for file conversion.

Pixelmator has automator plugin. You can make quick action using automator and it will become available on right click.
