Aspect PEF (Source Format) WebP (Target Format)
Format Overview
PEF
Pentax Electronic Format

RAW image format capturing unprocessed sensor data from Pentax digital cameras, preserving maximum detail.

RAW
WebP
Web Picture Format

Modern image format by Google providing both lossless and lossy compression, supporting transparency and animation.

Versatile
Compression

Lossless or minimal compression retaining all sensor data for maximum post-processing flexibility.

Offers efficient lossy and lossless compression, reducing file sizes substantially while maintaining quality.

Color Depth

Typically 12-bit per channel RAW data with extensive dynamic range.

8-bit per channel for lossy and up to 8-bit with alpha for lossless, supporting 24-bit color and transparency.

File Size

Large files (20-70 MB) containing full sensor data and metadata.

Small to moderate (50 KB–1 MB), depending on compression mode and quality settings.

Processing Stage

Unprocessed RAW sensor data requiring development software for viewing and editing.

Processed, ready for web display, animation, and transparency usage.

Why Convert PEF to WebP?

Converting PEF to WebP gives you highly compressed images with support for transparency and animation, making it ideal for modern web use. WebP’s advanced algorithms often produce smaller files than JPEG and PNG at similar quality.

Our converter preserves essential EXIF metadata and lets you choose between lossy and lossless modes. Batch processing speeds up conversion for large photo sets or web galleries.

Use WebP for responsive images, animated previews, and graphics with transparency. Enjoy faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage across devices.

Key Benefits:

  • Efficient lossy and lossless compression
  • Supports alpha transparency and animation
  • Batch conversion for streamlined workflow
  • Fully online with no software installation

Perfect for web developers, photographers, and designers, our PEF to WebP converter delivers cutting-edge image performance for any project.
