Can webP images be used with Bodymovin in Webflow?
Bodymovin is a powerful tool to create and export animations as JSON files from Adobe After Effects. It is commonly used in Webflow to bring animations to life on websites. However, Bodymovin does not natively support the webP image format. WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides high-quality images with small file sizes.
While you cannot directly use webP images with Bodymovin in Webflow, there are a couple of workarounds you can consider:
Convert webP images to PNG or JPEG: Since Bodymovin supports PNG and JPEG images, you can convert your webP images to one of these formats using image editing software or online conversion tools. This way, you can use the converted images in your Bodymovin animations in Webflow.
Use LottieFiles: LottieFiles is a popular online platform that allows you to use Lottie animations (exported as JSON files) and provides numerous animated illustrations and icons. It supports webP images, so you can use webP images directly in Lottie animations and then import them into Webflow using the LottieFiles embed code.
By utilizing these workarounds, you can incorporate webP images with Bodymovin animations in Webflow, providing visually appealing and optimized content for your website.
Summary:
While Bodymovin does not directly support the webP image format, you can convert webP images to the supported PNG or JPEG formats before using them in your Bodymovin animations. Alternatively, you can use LottieFiles to incorporate webP images with Bodymovin animations effortlessly.
