How to increase compression level of webp image output

  • Hi.

    I had a jpeg image size 120kb and the plugin gave me a webp version size 93kb so I need the compression level to be more lossy.

    So how can I make the compression level more lossy. I want max of 20kb webp images.

    Great question @spreaditunlimited. You can lower the quality from the default 82 using the below filter. You can modify this to suit your needs. 

    function set_webp_quality( $quality, $mime_type ) {
  if ( 'image/webp' === $mime_type ) {
   return 50;
  }
  return $quality;
}
add_filter( 'wp_editor_set_quality', 'set_webp_quality', 10, 2 );

    If you want to preview your image before uploading, or even generate WebP that matches your desired file size, you can use the squoosh.app site.
