WebPQuickLook for Mac

Quick, lightweight WebP preview for macOS

WebPQuickLook is a small, no-cost plugin made for macOS that makes viewing WebP images immediate and simple. Once installed, it extends the system Quick Look capability so you can inspect WebP pictures without launching any extra applications.

Main benefits

• Instant previews using macOS Quick Look — hit the Space bar to open a WebP file immediately.
• Built to handle multiple WebP variations, including animated and lossless files.
• Requires no separate viewer; the plugin works inside Finder.
• Lightweight and free, so it won’t slow down your workflow.
• Helpful for designers and developers who need fast file checks.

Installing and using the plugin

1. Download the plugin package from the developer’s release page.
2. Copy or move the plugin bundle into the appropriate Finder/Quick Look folder on your Mac.
3. If necessary, reload Quick Look (for example, using qlmanage -r) or log out and back in.
4. In Finder, select any WebP image and press the Space bar to preview it.

A free alternative to consider

CheatSheet (free) can serve as an alternate option depending on your needs. While it focuses on quick-reference shortcuts rather than image previews, it’s a compact, no-cost utility that some users prefer for improving daily productivity.
