Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be converting svg to webp format using sharp library. All the source code of the project will be given below.

Get Started

In order to get started we need to install the sharp npm package by installing by this command

npm i sharp

And after installing this we need to make a index.js file and copy paste the following code

index.js

const sharp = require("sharp")

sharp("image.svg")
  .webp()
  .toFile("new-file.webp")
  .then(function(info) {
    console.log(info)
  })
  .catch(function(err) {
    console.log(err)
  })

Now you can see in the above code we are importing the sharp library at the very beginning and then we are using this function to convert the svg image to webp format. It contains the callback function in the form of promises . When the conversion is completed we use the then callback and then we get the info object and if any error takes place we have the catch callback to catch any error if any error takes place.

As you can see we have the file my-file.webp created after you run the node.js script by running the command

node index.js
