How do I convert RAW to WebP?

Add your RAW file to the upload area above, then press Convert. The WebP file downloads straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Does converting to WebP reduce quality?

Nothing is re-encoded — the content is taken out of the RAW container as-is, so its quality is unchanged.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 120 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, including choosing files straight from your camera roll. Very large videos may run out of memory on a phone — those are better converted on a laptop.

RAW and WebP explained

A camera RAW file is the sensor's unprocessed readout, plus the camera's settings as metadata. It is not really an image yet: it has to be developed, which is why the same RAW can produce very different-looking photos.

WebP is a Google-developed format that offers both lossy and lossless modes, transparency, and animation in one container. In its lossy mode it typically produces files around 25–35% smaller than JPEG at comparable visual quality.

Where RAW files come from: Interchangeable-lens cameras and phones shooting in professional mode.
Where WebP is used: Modern websites, and increasingly the default export from web-focused design tools.

RAW vs WebP

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

RAW compared with WebP
Property	Source	Target
Compression	Lossless	Lossy or lossless
Transparency	No	Yes
Animation	No	Yes
Introduced	—	2010
Browser support	Needs dedicated software. Convert for sharing.	All modern browsers. Some older desktop apps can't open it.

RAW is stronger at: Maximum editing latitude — recover blown highlights and lifted shadows. 12 or 14 bits per channel instead of JPEG's 8. White balance and exposure remain fully adjustable after the fact.
WebP is stronger at: Substantially smaller than JPEG at similar quality. Supports transparency, which JPEG cannot. Supports animation, replacing GIF at a fraction of the size.

Why convert RAW to WebP?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of RAW: you want to share, upload or print directly. WebP is the better fit when you are publishing images on a website and want smaller files without a visible quality drop.

RAW limitations that prompt the switch: Every manufacturer has its own incompatible variant. Very large files. Cannot be viewed or shared without conversion.
What you give up: Desktop applications and older software often cannot open it. Some photo printing services and older phones reject it.

Does converting RAW to WebP reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.

WebP is not always smaller. For simple graphics with few colours, a well-optimised PNG can still win.
