Hey, all! There's a bug in line 21-huge thanks for Brahim Rezzoug for bringing this up. Change it to this so you can have folders within folders with images:
convert_to_webp(imagefile, os.path.join(root, ""))

Thanks for the great video. I would like to save the images in another folder. How can I change the output folder?

[@ajayjoseph8722]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you have any tutorial to convert from webp to png or jpg or common format. Cheers

[@NotDefinedTech]

I do now! Thanks for the suggestion: ua-cam.com/video/LHqwhXBpb0E/v-deo.html

Hi, Thanks for this tutorial. It's great. If you have multiple folders containing jpg files and want python to convert each folder from jpg files to webp files ? For example,
you have folders A, B, and C. Each folder includes 1, 2, and 3 folders; each numbered folder has jpg files
how you deal with that

Hey! You helped me find a bug in my script, thank you so much! I wrote up an article with the fixed code here: notdefined.tech/blog/auto-convert-all-images-to-webp-format-instant-load-time-improvement/
The gist is that it should have already worked for you with nested folders, but line 21 in the original script throws errors if you had folders inside of folders.
If you change the last line of the convert_all function (line 21), it should fix it so you can now pass in folder A or another parent folder and convert all your image files in the 1, 2, 3 sub folders:
convert_to_webp(imagefile, os.path.join(root, ""))
