NEF vs WebP Format Comparison

Aspect	NEF (Source Format)	WebP (Target Format)
Format Overview	NEF Nikon Electronic Format RAW image format capturing unprocessed sensor data from Nikon digital cameras with maximum image information. RAW	WebP Web Picture Modern image format offering both lossy and lossless compression optimized for web delivery with smaller file sizes. Web
Compression	Lossless or minimal compression retaining all sensor data for maximum post-processing flexibility.	Supports lossy (predictive) and lossless (LZW-based) compression for efficient web use.
Color Depth	12-bit or 14-bit per channel RAW data (36-42 bits total) with extensive dynamic range.	Supports 8-bit per channel RGB with alpha channel for transparency.
File Size	Large files (15-60 MB) containing complete sensor data and metadata.	Significantly smaller (0.1-10 MB) depending on compression settings and image complexity.
Processing Stage	Unprocessed RAW sensor data requiring development software for viewing and editing.	Processed format ready for immediate web display and sharing.
Advantages	Maximum image quality and dynamic range Non-destructive editing capabilities Extensive post-processing flexibility Professional photography standard	Excellent web optimization with reduced bandwidth Supports transparency and animation Wide browser and platform support Lossless and lossy options
Disadvantages	Requires specialized software for viewing and editing Limited compatibility with standard viewers Complex processing workflow required Proprietary format specific to Nikon cameras	Not ideal for high-end print workflows Limited color depth compared to RAW/TIFF Some legacy browser compatibility issues
Use Cases	Professional photography workflows Fine art and commercial photography High-end photo editing and retouching Digital asset management systems	Web graphics and website images Mobile app assets Social media sharing Animated images and banners
Tooling & Ecosystem	Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop Nikon Capture NX-D software Professional RAW processing tools	All modern web browsers Image editors with WebP support (e.g., Photoshop, GIMP) Graphic design and web development tools
Web Compatibility	No direct browser support; requires conversion for web display.	Full support in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera; partial in Safari.
Metadata Support	Extensive EXIF data, camera settings, and proprietary Nikon metadata preserved.	Basic XMP metadata; some EXIF fields preserved depending on encoder.
Transparency Support	No transparency support; solid image data only.	Full alpha channel support for complex compositing.

Why Convert NEF to WebP?
