Change .webp to .jpg with Linux shell script

Change .webp to .jpg

You can convert .webp files to .jpg using a Linux shell script by utilizing tools such as imagemagick or libwebp. Below is an example of a script that uses imagemagick, which provides the convert command:

1. Install ImageMagick (if not already installed):

   sudo apt-get install imagemagick

2. Create the shell script:

   #!/bin/bash
   
   # Directory containing .webp files
   DIRECTORY="path_to_your_directory"
   
   # Loop through all .webp files in the directory
   for FILE in "$DIRECTORY"/*.webp; do
     # Get the base name of the file (without extension)
     BASENAME=$(basename "$FILE" .webp)
     # Convert to .jpg
     convert "$FILE" "$DIRECTORY/$BASENAME.jpg"
   done
   
   echo "Conversion completed!"

3. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x convert_webp_to_jpg.sh

4. Run the script:

   ./convert_webp_to_jpg.sh

   Replace path_to_your_directory with the actual path to the directory containing your .webp files. This script will loop through each .webp file in the specified directory, convert it to a .jpg file with the same base name, and save it in the same directory.

If you prefer to use libwebp, here’s an alternative script:

1. Install libwebp tools (if not already installed):

   sudo apt-get install webp

2. Create the shell script:

   #!/bin/bash
   
   # Directory containing .webp files
   DIRECTORY="path_to_your_directory"
   
   # Loop through all .webp files in the directory
   for FILE in "$DIRECTORY"/*.webp; do
     # Get the base name of the file (without extension)
     BASENAME=$(basename "$FILE" .webp)
     # Convert to .jpg
     dwebp "$FILE" -o "$DIRECTORY/$BASENAME.jpg"
   done
   
   echo "Conversion completed!"

3. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x convert_webp_to_jpg.sh

4. Run the script:

   ./convert_webp_to_jpg.sh

   Again, replace path_to_your_directory with the actual path to your directory containing .webp files. This script will also convert each .webp file in the specified directory to a .jpg file with the same base name.
