imagecreatefromwebp

PHP GD and WebP support:

Normal WebP (VP8): supported since PHP 5.4
Transparent WebP or alpha transparency (VP8X, VP8L): supported since PHP 7.0
Animated WebP (VP8X): not supported at all.

You can use the images from here https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery2
here https://ezgif.com/help/alternative-animated-image-formats
and here https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery1

Test with imagecreatefromwebp('your-image.webp'); and see the errors.

You can detect animated or transparent webp using this code.

Usage:

<?php
$info = webpinfo('your-image.webp');
if (isset($info['Animation']) && $info['Animation'] === true) {
    echo 'It is animated webp.';
} 
if (isset($info['Alpha']) && $info['Alpha'] === true) {
    echo 'It is transparent webp.';
} 
?>
