🚀 Introducing WebP Importer for Unity! 🚀

Converting every image by hand gets annoying fast. WebP Importer fixes that. Drop a .webp file into your project and Unity imports it like any other texture, ready to drag onto materials, UI, sprites or any texture slot. No renaming, no external converters, no extra steps.

🚫 Heads up: Static images only. WebP Importer does not play animated WebP. If you need animated GIF, APNG or WebP playback, grab our AnimatedImages asset instead.

All our assets are made to work with all recent unity versions available and made to be future proof. All our assets will be updated for free if they break in future unity versions.

We have confirmed our asset works & compile on the following versions:

Unity 2021✅ Unity 2022✅ Unity 2023✅Unity6, 6.1, 6.2,6.3,6.4,6.5✅

(Previous editor versions might work but haven't been tested, support can be added upon request)

🖼️ Native Import: A real importer for the .webp extension. The file shows up in your Project window as a Texture2D, with a proper preview, just like a PNG or JPG would.

📦 Clean Builds: Decoding happens in the Editor and the result is baked into your project. Your build ships a normal texture with no native libraries and no runtime code, so it works everywhere Unity does, WebGL, mobile, desktop and consoles included.

⚙️ WebP Importer handles:

Lossy WebP (VP8).
Lossless WebP (VP8L).
Alpha and transparency (lossless RGBA, and lossy with an alpha channel).
sRGB / linear, mip maps, wrap & filter mode, aniso level and max size.
Read/Write toggle.
Optional compression (BC7/DXT, ETC2, ASTC) per build target.
Optional Sprite generation, with pixels per unit and pivot.

🎨 Any Pipeline: The output is a plain Texture2D, so it works the same in Built-in, URP and HDRP.

⏰ Time-Saving: Stop converting images one by one. Drop them in and keep working.

🍎 macOS note: The bundled macOS libraries are not notarized. If Gatekeeper blocks them the first time, one command clears it (covered in the docs).
