PBF to WEBPLL Conversion
What are PBF files?
PBF is an extension shared by two compact binary map formats that are both built on Google's Protocol Buffers. The first is the OpenStreetMap PBF format, usually named .osm.pbf, which holds the roads, buildings, and other objects of OpenStreetMap data for a country, a region, or the whole world, and which is much smaller and faster to read than the text .osm file, so it is the standard way of distributing OpenStreetMap extracts. The second is a Mapbox Vector Tile, a small file with the map objects of a single square tile of a web map, which is often saved with the .pbf extension, although its official extension is .mvt. The two formats have nothing else in common, and the contents of the file tell them apart.
What are WEBPLL files?
WebPLL is the lossless version of WebP, an image format released by Google in 2010 with the declared objective of improving browsing times. WebPLL images are aimed to offer the same quality as other standard image formats used online, such as JPEG and PNG, but in a smaller size. Although received with enthusiasm, the two Google formats are still not compatible with some browsers and viewers, and have features that need to be developed in the future for wider accessibility.
