WebpQuickLook

WebpQuickLook is a QuickLook generator plugin for macOS that enables the system to preview WebP image files directly in Finder, without requiring a separate image viewer. WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that offers better compression than JPEG or PNG while maintaining quality. Users can select a WebP file in Finder and press spacebar to see an instant preview, or view thumbnails in list view. The plugin integrates into macOS's native QuickLook system.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">WebpQuickLook is a QuickLook generator plugin—a system extension that plugs into macOS's native preview system—not a standalone application. It is not separately updatable through the App Store or a generic download. To get a native Apple Silicon version, you must reinstall the plugin through its vendor's installer or distribution channel. Contact Eminkura directly or check their website to see if a native Apple Silicon build of WebpQuickLook is available, and follow their installation instructions to set it up. Once installed, macOS's QuickLook system will use the native version automatically. If the vendor has not yet released a native build, the current Intel version will continue to run under Rosetta 2 for now, but note that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so an Intel-only QuickLook generator will stop working on that release.
