Convert RAW to WEBP

We support all common RAW file formats including 3FR, ARW, CR2, CR3, CRW, DCR, DNG, ERF, FFF, MRW, NEF, NRW, ORF, PEF, RAF, RAW by manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, Leica, Hasselblad, and more.

A .raw file contains unprocessed, uncompressed image data directly from a digital cameras sensor. Unlike JPEG or PNG formats, RAW files preserve all original image information, allowing photographers maximum control over post-processing adjustments like white balance, exposure, and color. These files are typically larger and require specific software for viewing and editing, but offer superior image quality and flexibility.

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that offers superior compression for web graphics. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, providing smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and PNG while maintaining high image quality. WebP images feature transparency like PNG files and can display animations like GIF files. This format helps websites load faster and reduces bandwidth usage.

WebP images offer superior compression compared to JPEG, reducing file sizes by 25-35% while maintaining similar visual quality. This smaller file size leads to: • Faster website loading speeds • Reduced bandwidth usage • Better mobile user experience • Improved SEO rankings • Lower hosting storage costs WebP also supports both lossy and lossless compression, plus alpha channel transparency like PNG files. Modern browsers widely support WebP, making it an ideal choice for web optimization. For legacy support, you can provide JPEG fallbacks using the <picture> element, ensuring compatibility across all devices and browsers.

.WebP images fully support transparency through an alpha channel, similar to PNG files. The format allows both binary (fully transparent or fully opaque) and variable transparency levels (partial opacity). When using lossy compression, WebP maintains high-quality transparency while achieving smaller file sizes compared to PNG. The lossless WebP variant preserves transparency without any quality degradation, making it ideal for logos, icons, and graphics requiring clear backgrounds.

Converting from RAW to WebP typically results in some quality loss since RAW files contain uncompressed, unprocessed sensor data while WebP uses lossy compression. However, WebPs advanced compression algorithms maintain good visual quality while significantly reducing file size. RAW files offer maximum editing flexibility and contain 12-14 bits per color channel, whereas WebP uses 8 bits per channel. This reduction in color depth and dynamic range is usually imperceptible to viewers but matters for professional editing. For web display and general use, WebP provides an excellent balance between quality and file size, often outperforming JPEG at similar compression levels. Choose RAW for professional editing and archiving, and WebP for web optimization and storage efficiency.
