Image Converter: WebP only

Obsidian plugin that automatically converts pasted images to WebP.

Conversion uses Electron's built-in Chromium Canvas API (OffscreenCanvas.convertToBlob) — no native dependencies, no wasm, no external tools. The entire plugin is ~1.7 KB.

How it works

  1. Intercepts paste events containing images (PNG, JPEG, BMP, etc.)
  2. Converts to WebP via createImageBitmap → OffscreenCanvas → convertToBlob({ type: "image/webp" })
  3. Saves to your configured attachment folder and inserts a ![[wikilink]]
  • I recommend having all attachments in a single flat folder. Settings -> Files and links -> Default location for new attachments & Attachment folder path
