Property	Description	32bit Requirement	64bit Requirement
ieenAuto	Automatically chooses ieenDLL if the WebP DLL is found in the EXE folder, otherwise ieenLegacy (if ImageMagick is available), ieenNative (if Skia is available) or ieenWIC	-	-
ieenNative	Skia is used (Delphi 12 or newer)	Skia enabled in Project	Skia enabled in Project
ieenDLL	Uses the WebP DLL	iewebp32.dll	iewebp64.dll
ieenWIC	Uses the WIC API (Windows Imaging Component) - Read-Only!	Always Supported	Always Supported
ieenLegacy	Uses the ImageMagick Plug-in	ImageMagick DLLs	ImageMagick DLLs
ieenNone	Format is unavailable	-	-

Note:
◼ieenDLL requires you to ship the WebP with your application
◼Skia (ieenNative) requires Delphi 12 or newer. You must add Vcl.Skia to the uses clause (of any of your project units) and enable Skia for your project. VCL Skia support will make your EXE much larger
◼With ieenAuto, only the EXE folder is searched for relevant DLLs. For ieenDLL, the system path is also checked (or specify a path by calling RegisterPlugins)
◼ieenNative and ieenWIC are not supported for saving
◼You can get the active engine using ActiveWebPEngine, and the status of all imaging engines using ImageEnVersion.Status

Default: ieenAuto (which uses ieenDLL if the WebP DLL is available, otherwise ieenLegacy (if ImageMagick is available), ieenNative (if Skia is available) or ieenWIC

Example

// Use the WebP DLL to create save files
IEGlobalSettings().WebPEngine := ieenDLL;
