Can Hugo generate only webp images and skip jpg?

support

I checked the resources folder and there are a lot of resized jpg images. I use webp entirely on my site and all resized images are in webp with no fallback. Is there a way to prevent generation of these jpg images?

If you’re using .Resize or .Process, then you can specify the target format as part of the call to those methods

Is this a problem?

I already do that. Using the Fill method with .Process.

Not a ‘problem’ per se. But if it is possible not to generate these images, then I would prefer that.

They represent cached steps in the imaging pipeline. Don’t worry about it.

Are they counted in the total of Processed images? Coz I remember you saying the total shown is faulty. (I am trying to diagnose templates build time).

If you have 6 images in the assets directory and do this:

{{ range resources.ByType "image" }}
  {{ with .Resize "200x png" }}
    {{ with .Resize "150x webp" }}
      <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
    {{ end }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

The number of processed images displayed in the build stats will be 12 because you have processed 12 images.

I checked my image processor code in partials and I saw there was a redundant resize generating jpg images. Removed it and purged the resources folder and now everything works as expected.

I actually checked and I only generate 6 images per page (for the cover image, as this specific site is text-heavy) in 3 partials. So, the processed images count might be in line with what Hugo shows.
