NEF to WEBP lossless
Posted: Sat Dec 28, 2024 2:02 pm
Hi all
I'm new to XnConvert, but I'm currently in need of an tool like this.
I was in Japan with friends a few weeks ago and we used SyncThing to exchange pictures. Most of us took photos in JPG or RAW+JPG, except for one. As a Linux user and the only computer engineer, I had the idea of converting the NEF images into a modern lossless format. My first choice was webp, as I also use it for my website. I was very surprised when I realised that the NEF files were smaller than the WEBP results after the conversion. Both are of course formats that can handle compression, but WEBP is far more up-to-date from my point of view, which is why I suspect a mistake on my part...
Have you had similar experiences? How would you save the images without loss, in a format that modern devices can display?
