# Webp Preview For Windows Explorer
The shell extension teaches Windows Explorer to display previews of [webp](https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery1).
## Compatibility
The extension was developed and tested on `Windows 10` though I expect it to work on other windows versions.
## Installation
You can install the extension either manually or using the installer.
### Installer
1. Download the `Installer` from the [Releases][releases] section
2. Run the `Installer`
### Manual installation
1. Download the `DLL` from the [Releases][releases] section
2. Put the `DLL` into the desired place in your system
3. Register the `DLL` via `regsvr32`.
```
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe C:\Where\The\Dll\Resides\webpext64.dll
```
To unregister the `DLL` later again use `regsvr32`:
```
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe /u C:\Where\The\Dll\Resides\webpext64.dll
```
Normally no admin permissions should be required for the registration.
