If we would upload webp to the bucket, and request an image optimization/transoformation link, we would get no image as a result. Png/Jpg works fine. What is Appwrite using under the hood? Sharp?

Interesting, it's more heavy and slower than Sharp which is almost a standard now..
In general, Sharp is known to be faster and more lightweight than Imagick. This is because it uses libvips, a fast and efficient image processing library, and it is designed to minimize memory usage by processing images in chunks.
Imagick, on the other hand, is a PHP extension that was ported to Node.js, so it has more overhead and can be slower and more memory-intensive than Sharp.
Sharp has avif support as well
Anyway, just wanted to point it out, as I encountered this few days ago, once i get done with everything else, will try to think how to come around the error, while we have a fix

Appwrite use php, sharp is only compatible with nodejs
lilac thistle
doesn't appwrite use dockered functions as well?
so why not just add sharp in the mix
vague yew
Cause all code base is on php
btw, you should be able to use sharp on custom function 🙂

i have no idea how i would add that to the on demand functionality

i was refering to the bucket transformation function that is built in
Anyway, from googling, it seems imagick does support webp, and transformations on it

Yes you can, read here : https://appwrite.io/docs/client/storage?sdk=web-default#storageGetFilePreview
output param

but why no previews for webp, as it seems to be supporting it
i think it's a bug. i think it's missing from here: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/f45905e5456fb0722751b10887e5a488fa3545b8/app/config/storage/inputs.php

nice catch

I was uploading webp 4000x4000, then requesting webp 400x400, wasn't getting preview, that was my concern
vague yew
Thinks need to update https://github.com/appwrite/docker-base/blob/main/Dockerfile with webp metatypes for that ?

Oh not see that it's what you want 😄
This checks that the input type is one of the allowed ones for preview. See https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/f45905e5456fb0722751b10887e5a488fa3545b8/app/controllers/api/storage.php#L872

Is imagemagick-dev package include webp lib ?
