Doesn't work on macOS Mojave
Hey, I tried to install this extension (both ways), restarted my machine and it doesn't work at all (no thumbs, no quicklook). I tried on two machines running on Mojave - works on none of them :(
Would be great if you provide some help!
Regards from Germany
@wottpal @umlearn have you updated to the latest Mojave? It does work on my 10.14.1.
@grikomsn Yes, I'm running 10.14.1. Can't figure it out why it doesn't work for me.
Possible reasons:
- Corrupted or different .webp file: try convert any image using Squoosh (repository) and view it using Finder
- Current user can't use the plugin: try install the plugin system-wide using the second command (
install-all.sh) (I installed using this command)
Hey @grikomsn, sorry for the late response.
I've tried multiple legit .webp files (also from squoosh) and installed it once again via install-all.sh but no luck 😞
When I fire up QuickLook on a webp file for the first time after installation the window gets large like it wants to show an image but then it jumps right back to just file-info. Some internal error I guess :/
Thanks for your help
I also am unable to see the WebP files installing locally or as admin. I'm on 10.14.2. I even sanity tested using WebP files from here: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery1
Update: using the 'install all' script still works like a charm on 10.14.3 🎉
I had a similar issue with another QL extension for webp and found that in my case Pixelmator interfered with it. The instructions here https://github.com/Nyx0uf/qlImageSize#limitations solved the issue for me. Maybe this helps here too?

Solved for me too.
For me too :) Just one more question @flekschas: Do you think I have to repeat this each time when Pixelmator updates?
@wottpal I can't say for sure but I believe you're right. The other day I noticed that I couldn't preview webp anymore and that the setting in Pixelmator's plist was back. Unfortunately, I don't know any way around. Hopefully, someone finds a permanent solution 🤞
Tried it out on 10.14.6!
Some times it generates the thumbs for the webp-files, and it works. Some times it not works on files that just 2 seconds ago worked! Generates thumbs for animated images, but will not preview them at all!
Take AGES to generate thumbs! And I'm running a 2,8 GHz i7.
uninstall it and install webp(brew install webp) instead, works on Mojave 10.14.6

@pot-code, when you say "works", what do you mean?
I tried uninstalling this QL plugin, and installing the webp brew formula, but I don't see thumbnails or QL previews (on macOS 10.15.6). I would normally have guessed that the formula would just install libraries, not a QL extension…
@rgoldberg, As I had installed the plugin(and the webp too), I re-installed it by using the install-all script, but it didn't work. So I did a reboot and uninstalled the plugin via brew cask uninstall WebPQuickLook.
Then I opened the task manager via command+option+esc, selected the finder, and restarted it. Everything now works.
Frikken Awesome! Thanks everyone! Works great on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. Select a webp file, tap space bar, view. Yay! Worked 100% on all 24 webp files I happened to have handy in my Downloads folder.
I installed with:
curl -L https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/install.sh | sh
and it was done. Did not reboot.
This Quicklook plugin is So Much Easier than the workarounds I was considering, such as Automator watch folders to watch for any .webp files then calling GraphicConverter to resave as JPG.
Anyway.... Much appreciated! THANKS! :-D
