try on your machine

This command is using the cwebp utility to convert an image file to the WebP format. Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

cwebp: This is the binary/executable file for the cwebp utility. It is a command-line tool provided by Google for encoding and decoding images in the WebP format.
${path-to-image_file}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the image file that you want to convert to WebP. You should replace it with the specific path on your system, such as /path/to/image.jpg.
-o: This is the option flag used with cwebp to specify the output file path.
${path-to-output-webp}: Similarly, this is a placeholder for the desired path where you want to save the converted WebP image file. You should replace it with the specific path on your system, such as /path/to/output.webp.

To use this command, you need to replace ${path-to-image_file} and ${path-to-output-webp} with the actual paths on your system and then run the command in a terminal or command prompt. This will convert the specified image file to WebP format and save it with the given file path.
