[Python] Django convert image to webp

I have service in my Django project's app, that upload images, and I need to convert all images to webp to optimize further work with these files on the frontend side.

Draft of _convert_to_webp method:

# imports
from pathlib import Path

from django.core.files import temp as tempfile
from django.core.files.uploadedfile import InMemoryUploadedFile
from PIL import Image


# some service class
...
def _convert_to_webp(self, f_object: InMemoryUploadedFile):
new_file_name = str(Path(f_object._name).with_suffix('.webp'))

temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix='.temp.webp')
# FIXME: on other OS may cause FileNotFoundError
with open(temp_file 'wb') as f:
for line in f_object.file.readlines():
... # will it works good?
new_file = ...

new_f_object = InMemoryUploadedFile(
new_file,
f_object.field_name,
new_file_name,
f_object.content_type,
f_object.size,
f_object.charset,
f_object.content_type_extra
)

return new_file_name, new_f_object
...


f_object is InMemoryUploadedFile instance from POST request body (Django automatically create it).

My idea is to create a temporary file, write data from f_object.file.readlines() to it, open this file with PIL.Image.open and save with format="webp". Is this idea a good one or there is another way to make file converting?
