 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax

## Remarks
  
WebP WebP is an image format that provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. As soon as it supports animation, it can contain multiple frames. Frame can have its own position, and a number of other paramaters, as delay time, disposal method, etc.
 
## Examples
  
The following code reads a WebP image and saves its frames as separate PNG files:
 
```csharp
using (var reader = new WebPReader(@"Images\AnimatedWebP.webp"))
{
    for (int i = 0; i < reader.Frames.Count; i++)
    {
        reader.Frames[i].GetBitmap().Save(@"Images\Output\WebP_frame_" + i.ToString() + ".png");
    }
}
```
