SimpleWEBP

A zero-dependency minimalist Java library for reading WEBP files.

It is implemented in Java and independent of Java AWT (ImageIO) / JavaFX. It can be easily used with Android.

Feature

• Supports Java 8+;
• Only requires the java.base module;
• Very small (< 25 KiB);
• Supports reading VP8L WEBP images;
• Supports alpha channels;

Limitations

• Currently only VP8L WEBP is supported

Adding SimpleWEBP to your build

Please configure JitPack as a repository.

Maven:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Gradle:

repositories {
    maven(url = "https://jitpack.io")
}

Please replace %latest-commit-hash% with the latest commit hash. e.g. 624c20367a05583af8066907ff95f5e8276ad7f4

Use SimpleWEBP without JavaFX / Java AWT (imageio):

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.burningtnt.SimpleWEBP</groupId>
    <artifactId>SimpleWEBP</artifactId>
    <version>%latest-commit-hash%</version>
</dependency>

Gradle:

implementation("com.github.burningtnt.SimpleWEBP:SimpleWEBP:%latest-commit-hash%")

Use SimpleWEBP in a JavaFX project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.burningtnt.SimpleWEBP</groupId>
    <artifactId>jfx</artifactId>
    <version>%latest-commit-hash%</version>
</dependency>

Gradle:

implementation("com.github.burningtnt.SimpleWEBP:jfx:%latest-commit-hash%")

Use SimpleWEBP in a Java AWT (imageio) project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.burningtnt.SimpleWEBP</groupId>
    <artifactId>awt</artifactId>
    <version>%latest-commit-hash%</version>
</dependency>

Gradle:

implementation("com.github.burningtnt.SimpleWEBP:awt:%latest-commit-hash%")

Usage

VP8LDeocder is used to decode Webp.

Primitive Usage

public final class Example {
    private Example() {
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        RGBABuffer rgbaBuffer = SimpleWEBPLoader.decode(Example.class.getResourceAsStream("example.webp"));
    }
}

Usage with JavaFX

You should install the WEBPImageLoader.

public final class JavaFXExample {
    private JavaFXExample() {
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WEBPImageLoaderFactory.setupListener();
        
        Image image = new Image(Example.class.getResourceAsStream("example.webp"));
    }
}

Usage with Java AWT

public final class AWTExample {
    private AWTExample() {
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Image image = AWTImageLoader.decode(Example.class.getResourceAsStream("example.webp"));
    }
}
