I'm having an issue trying to use Intervention Image to manipulate webp files. The statement causing the error is:
Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize(250, 250)->save($path);
The error I run into is:
Unsupported image type. GD/PHP installation does not support WebP format.
I have the gd library installed, however it does not support webp.
I've looked around, and the closest I've found to a solution is here, which suggests adding additional extensions when initially (manually) compiling PHP: Call to undefined function imagewebp()
I would prefer not to uninstall and manually compile PHP with additional extensions. Is this the only option? Are there any straightforward solutions?
