@manvi77 saddly, it's not. I want to get an animate image in webp. That got just the first frame of the gif image. – zephor Apr 14 '17 at 05:55

I don't think Pillow supports animated webp but please show the full stack trace. – Hugo Apr 15 '17 at 04:55

@zephor Did you go through the answer? Try installing the latest libwebp library – Jeru Luke Apr 26 '17 at 06:17

I just skimmed through the documentation for PIL, which says clearly that webp format is supported. It however comes with a condition. The page states Only supported if the system webp library was built with webpmux support.
In order to continue, you will have to install the latest libwebp library for your corresponding OS. It is recommended to work with it provided you have Debian/Ubuntu OS. There are plenty of resources available on the net to help you.
You may have to reinstall PIL as well
