Swift-WebP

Swift Wrapper of libwebp

Target

Swift-WebP aims to deal with image processing flexibly for WebP format in Swift unlike an image loading library; such as SDWebImage. So this library allows you to use many features libwebp has without hassles to use C API from Swift. And also you don't need to install libwebp by yourself if you install this via Carthage. This contains it inside the framework.

Support Versions:

• libwebp: v1.0.3
• iOS Deployment Target: 8.0
• macOS Deployment Target: 10.11

Features

• Support mutiplatform; iOS, macOS, and Linux (swift-docker)
• Support SPM
• Advanced Encoder API - WebPEncoder, WebPEncoderConfig
• Advanced Decoding API - WebPDecoder, WebPDecoderOptions
• Image inspection for WebP files - WebPImageInspector

TODO

• Progressively encoding/decoding option
• Animated WebP

Usage

Encoding

let image = UIImage(named: "demo")
let encoder = WebPEncoder()
let queue =  DispatchQueue(label: "me.ainam.webp")

// should encode in background
queue.async {
    let data = try! encoder.encode(image, config: .preset(.picture, quality: 95))
    // using webp binary data...
}

Decoding

let data: Data = loadWebPData()
let encoder = WebPDecoder()
let queue =  DispatchQueue(label: "me.ainam.webp")

// should decode in background
queue.async {
    var options = WebPDecoderOptions()
    options.scaledWidth = Int(originalWidth / 2)
    options.scaledHeight = Int(originalHeight / 2)
    let cgImage = try! decoder.decode(data, options: options)
    let webpImage = UIImage(cgImage: cgImage)

    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        self.imageView.image = webpImage
    }
}

Installation

This library won't support CocoaPods. It's difficult to create and maintain podspec files for static libraries. (But contribution for that is always welcome.)

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate WebP into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "ainame/Swift-WebP"

Run carthage update --use-submodules to build the framework and drag the built `WebP.framework** into your Xcode project.

Don't forget to use --use-submodules flag!
