Didnt work for me, on Tangled Up.

I followed the instructions in Installation/Usage, but the damn webp images stay locked and wont show up with any program still. Yes I have the Webp codec installed.

This tool starts processing all the images one by one, but for every one of them, it tells me "cant open file" and "[Errno 2] No such file or directory"

WTF??

EDIT: Ok.....that was extremely weird. Since it couldnt open those files in that directory, I grabbed the whole folder (NO changes made) and simple Cut/pasted it straight into the D: drive. Like, D:\Tangled Up and then it worked.
I am baffled. o_O

You don't happen to have non-ASCII characters in the folder path?

Unren.bat worked without any problems?

The folder was located inside a folder with [] in the name, as well as the symbol &
Unren worked just fine, but Webpfix had issues. Moving it to the root of the HDD fixed the issue.

Thanks very much for this, especially the information on exactly what was the problem with those WebP files which were showing unable to be loaded by most programs that support WebP. I used your python script to create a Mac version (mostly by modifying the UnRen code by @goobdoob because I'm lazy and it's a great starting point).

I use it (along with unrpa, unrpyc, etc.) by just sticking it in /usr/local/bin, making it executable (chmod 755) and calling it from whatever folder I happen to need it from.

Have been using this for awhile now and I love it. I've been using the 90% option which cuts the file size down to roughly 10% of what it was before and I honestly can't tell the difference in quality.

Edit: Actually commented on the wrong thread but I'm sure this utility is nice as well :)

After 6 hours of searching the entire internet for a solution, I find this... and it works like a charm. Thank You. :heart:
Oddly it seems Microsoft paint can open some of the weird or corrupted headers easily lol.. if anyone wants to try this VN has a weird header for webp files. i got confused as hell.

Does anyone know why the WEBP files get corrupted in the first place?

Is it because in " " and " " are using some kind of third party webp converter that is causing the problem?
