What is a RAW file?
RAW – Camera RAW photo. RAW is a generic extension several camera makers use for the data straight from the sensor. The layout differs from maker to maker, so a program has to know the camera to turn the file into a picture.
RAW Converter →What is a WEBP file?
WEBP – WebP image. WebP is a format from Google for the web. It makes pictures smaller than JPG or PNG, supports transparency and animation, and is read by every current browser.

Good to know
- Choose a quality in Options: lower numbers make a smaller WEBP with less detail.
- RAW files are developed on our server with the camera's own white balance, then saved as WEBP. Expect a good-looking picture, not a replacement for your RAW editor.
- Tick Remove metadata in Options to leave out information stored in the picture, such as the camera and the place.

Is converting RAW to WEBP free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my RAW pictures uploaded anywhere?

How large can the RAW file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Can I change the size or quality of the WEBP?
