Configuration
// Enables WebP creation after a new image was uploaded $wgWebPEnableConvertOnUpload = true;

// Enables WebP creation after a thumbnail was created $wgWebPEnableConvertOnTransform = true;

// Compression quality of the image: 0 - 100 where 100 means most compressed $wgWebPCompressionQuality = 50;

// the strength of the deblocking filter, between 0 (no filtering) and 100 (maximum filtering). A value of 0 turns off any filtering. Higher values increase the strength of the filtering process applied after decoding the image. The higher the value, the smoother the image appears. Typical values are usually in the range of 20 to 50. $wgWebPFilterStrength = 50;

// when enabled, the algorithm spends additional time optimizing the filtering strength to reach a well-balanced quality. $wgWebPAutoFilter = true;

// Create images through the JobQueue $wgWebPConvertInJobQueue = true;

// Thumbnail Sizes to create through the maintenance script $wgWebPThumbSizes = [ 120,  320,   800,   1200,   1600 ];
