How to create a .webp image in PHP [closed]

Question

How do you create .webp images using PHP?

Modern versions of PHP (>= 5.5.0) can be compiled with WebP support but from I've seen this isn't common on many web hosts. If compiled with WebP support you can use the built-in imagewebp() function to create .webp images.

What are the alternatives for creating .webp images using PHP? Libraries, APIs other methods?
