This will automatically create webp and jpg versions of the image. Now you can call picture_tag in your views:

<%= picture_tag image_path, options_hash %>

<%= picture_tag 'image.png', class: 'card' %>

It is return html code like:

<picture class="card">
  <source srcset="image.png.webp" type="image/webp" style="height: inherit; width: inherit">
  <source srcset="image.png.jpg" type="image/jpeg" style="height: inherit; width: inherit">
  <img style="height: inherit; width: inherit" src="image.png" alt="">
</picture>

If you have uploaded images you can use rake task to convert. Default path is "public":

$ rake picture:prepare[:path]

$ rake picture:prepare["public/uploads"]
