Convert Image to WebP using ImageProcessor

Question

I used this code to convert uploaded images to WebP format in asp.net core:

        using (var webPFileStream = new FileStream(webpImagePath, FileMode.Create))
        {                
            using (var imageFactory = new ImageFactory(preserveExifData: false))
            {
                imageFactory.Load(file.OpenReadStream())
                            .Format(new WebPFormat())
                            .Quality(100)
                            .Save(webPFileStream);
            }
        }

It works fine locally. But after hosting, it gives me error message "cannot load libwebp.dll". I couldn't find any solution on stackoverflow and couldn't figure if it's the host or the package.

According this article, please make sure you have installed below things.

Requires msvcr120.dll from the Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 to be installed on the server.

If you are using version 1.0.2 or lower it instead requires msvcr110.dll from the Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2012 to be installed.
