Is libweb.lib-1.3.0 buggy?

[MyNameIsQt]

Save the image as webp using webp.lib. But some images succeed and certain images fail. Also, the color is converted. Specially, Blue and Red.
Isn't this a bug in webp.lib? Or is there any way to fix this?

Lib: libwebp-1.3.0-windows-x64
Compiler: MSVC

left: jpeg, right: webp

if (!WebPPictureImportRGBA(&pic, src, src_stride)) { << here
        WebPPictureFree(&pic);
        return false;
    }

@MyNameIsQt Why convert to QPixmap?

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QImage>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);

        QImage input("input.png");
        input.save("output.webp");
        return 0;
}

This input:

$ ./test 
$ identify input.png output.webp 
input.png PNG 100x100 100x100+0+0 16-bit sRGB 4699B 0.000u 0:00.000
output.webp WEBP 100x100 100x100+0+0 8-bit sRGB 1080B 0.000u 0:00.000
$ file input.png output.webp 
input.png:   PNG image data, 100 x 100, 16-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
output.webp: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image

Have you installed the Qt Image Formats add-on module?

Probably not (assuming you mean libwebp from Chromium).

The colour change is likely explained the first time you posted about this problem.

The exception behaviour is likely an invalid pointer.

Is there a reason you cannot use the read/write WEBP support in the Qt6 image plugin set?

@ChrisW67
The following code doesn't produce anything.

QImageReader reader(m_strBkgndImagePath);
    std::unique_ptr<QImage> unique_img(new QImage(reader.read()));

    if(unique_img->isNull()){
        return false;
    }
    // Convert QImage to QPixmap
    QPixmap pixmap = QPixmap::fromImage(*unique_img);

    // Save as WebP file
    QFileInfo fileInfo(m_strBkgndImagePath);
    QString webpFileName = fileInfo.path() + QDir::separator() + fileInfo.baseName() + ".webp";

    cout << webpFileName.toStdString() << endl;
    QImageWriter writer(webpFileName, "webp");
    writer.write(pixmap.toImage());

However, if I do the following,

    QImageWriter writer(webpFileName, "png");

a webp file is created, not a png file. I can't understand this. Doesn't the writer function encode the passed file extension? Why is webp created when png is inserted? Why is the file not created even though I set it to webp?
