Upload a ARW image and save it as WEBP without installing desktop image software.
ARW is an uncompressed file format with a digital image of a sufficiently large size, which Sony has created and successfully uses for raw images of its own digital cameras (Sony Digital Camera Raw Image). That is, files of this format are RAW. To open them, you need to use special graphics programs.
Any ARW file has a set of basic information.
1) Information from the manufacturer. This includes information about the camera model, filters, lens, sensitivity, color space, white balance, etc.
2) EXIF information. Details of aperture, exposure time, flash, and more.
3) Thumbnail image. Usually about 12 MPx, color, compression.
4) Full-size image with a large color depth. Typically, 12 bits per pixel, or 4096 brightness levels. A full-sized image can be saved as information about different colors. Red, blue, green. The image is collected, and the result is a color photo.
Due to this and due to the large color depth of RAW, this type of file is perfect for processing graphics. Better than jpg. The format provides the ability to save many details. It has more options for adjusting color, restoring details from shadows and reducing noise.
WebP is an open-source format for image files, raster images. Created in 2010 by Google for web graphics in order to quickly upload images to web pages. This is the main advantage of WebP files. Compression of images in this format can go with or without loss, depending on what level of quality you want to achieve. Thus, lossless compression is 26% better than in PNG files. If quality loss is acceptable, then compression in WebP format is 25-34% better than in JPEG files. Full support for WebP is not yet available on Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari.
