+# Image to WebP Converter
+
+This repository contains two Python scripts for converting images to WebP format. One script is for command-line usage, and the other provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for easier interaction.
+
+## Files
+
+1. `image_to_webp.py`: A command-line tool for converting images to WebP format.
+2. `image_to_webp_gui.py`: A GUI tool for converting images to WebP format.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.x
+- Pillow library
+- Tkinter library (for the GUI tool)
+
+You can install the required libraries using pip:
+
+```sh
+pip install Pillow
+```
+
+Tkinter is included with standard Python installations. If you encounter issues, you may need to install it separately.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command-Line Tool
+
+The `image_to_webp.py` script allows you to convert images to WebP format using the command line.
+
+#### Arguments
+
+- `files`: Paths to the image files to convert.
+- `save_directory`: Directory to save the converted WebP images.
+- `quality`: Quality of the output WebP images (1-100).
+
+#### Example
+
+```sh
+python image_to_webp.py image1.jpg image2.png /path/to/save/directory 80
+```
+
+### GUI Tool
+
+The `image_to_webp_gui.py` script provides a graphical user interface for converting images to WebP format.
+
+#### Steps
+
+1. Run the script:
+
+    ```sh
+    python image_to_webp_gui.py
+    ```
+
+2. A file dialog will appear to select multiple image files.
+3. Another dialog will appear to select the directory to save the converted WebP images.
+4. A dialog will prompt you to enter the quality of the output WebP images (1-100).
+5. The images will be converted and saved to the specified directory.
