How do I convert RAW to WEBP with LetsConvert?

Upload your RAW file (from cameras like Canon CR2, Nikon NEF, or Sony ARW). Select WEBP as the output format. Choose a compression level: Lossless for high quality or Lossy for minimal file size. Optionally, enable metadata preservation to keep EXIF. Click 'Convert' and download the resulting WEBP file.

Why should I convert RAW to WEBP instead of using JPEG or PNG?

RAW provides maximum image data but is unwieldy. WEBP combines the best of JPEG and PNG: high compression with good quality and supports alpha transparency, all in one format. This makes WEBP ideal for the web because it loads faster and consumes less bandwidth than other formats while preserving important visual details.

What happens to my RAW file's color depth, EXIF, and transparency when converting to WEBP?

The raw sensor data is processed at 8-bit per channel because WEBP supports a maximum of 8-bit. The converter applies a demosaicing algorithm to create a continuous-tone image, converts the color space to sRGB or Adobe RGB (depending on your settings), and embeds an ICC profile. EXIF metadata is preserved when you opt in. Transparency is not inherited from the RAW file; you can add an alpha channel later, but any existing layers or logos will be flattened.
