FAQ
RAST to WEBP Conversion
What are RAST files?
RAST is a Sun Raster image format developed for Sun UNIX platforms. These types of operating systems were launched by Sun Microsystems for use on both workstations and server computer systems. As opposed to RAS, which is also a Sun Raster format, RAST images are less compatible with image viewers outside the Sun UNIX platforms. They support various types of image colour depths, from monochrome to 32-bit TrueColor and are mostly designed for UNIX users.
What are WEBP files?
WebP is an image file format released by Google in 2010 with the aim of challenging the leading positions of JPG and PNG in the domain of storing and transferring digital images. The purpose of the WebP format is to improve the speed of browsing by offering the same quality as JPEG or PNG, but in a smaller size. WebP images can contain both lossy and lossless compression. They continue, however, to be incompatible with some image viewers and browsers, and are often described by analysts as "work in progress" — a format that still needs to be developed.
