WebPis a modern image format that provides superior lossless andlossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and webdevelopers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster.
Lossless WebP supports transparency (also known as alpha channel) at acost of just 22% additional bytes. For cases when lossy RGB compressionis acceptable, lossy WebP also supports transparency, typically providing3 smaller file sizes compared to PNG.
Lossy WebP compression uses predictive coding to encode an image, the samemethod used by the VP8 video codec to compress keyframes in videos. Predictivecoding uses the values in neighboring blocks of pixels to predict the valuesin a block, and then encodes only the difference.
A WebP file consists of VP8 or VP8L image data, and a containerbased on RIFF. The standalone libwebp library serves as a referenceimplementation for the WebP specification, and is available fromour git repository or as a tarball.
WebP is natively supported in Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, the Operabrowser, and by many other tools and software libraries. Developers havealso added support to a variety of image editing tools.
WebP includes the lightweight encoding and decoding library libwebpand the command line tools cwebp and dwebp for convertingimages to and from the WebP format, as well as tools for viewing, muxing andanimating WebP images. The full source code is available on thedownload page.

The Convert Image Format is used to convert an image with a given format into another format. It handles both color spec, format and depth conversions. The algorithm also supports input range conversion, when one is required to map, for instance, an unsigned char \([0,255]\) image into signed short \([-32768,32767]\) range.
The algorithm is implemented as a pixel-wise conversion function that reads in the input pixels, applies a conversion-dependent series of transformations and writes the result to the output image in the same position. User inputs are:
The following sections describe how input value is converted into output. In general, these conversions amount to color spec, depth, channel order (swizzle), adding or removing alpha channel, down- or up-sampling transformations. These are represented as conversion pipelines made out of basic processing blocks defined below.
It's used to permute (or swizzle) input type's channel order. Used in conversions from/to color specs that can be represented in multiple ways, like RGB and BGR. The color spec conversion functions assume a pre-determined channel order. In order to use them, channels must be reordered.

Hello, I have been looking for information regarding the .vk6 image format and as of yet have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know where I could find the documentation for this format and if it is at all similar to the .vk4 format which is also used by Keyence. I am new to image processing, but I would like to program a converter which would convert the .vk6 files into a more accessible .jpeg or .png file.
Does anyone know what documentation I would need in order to begin with such a task? What other resources related to image processing with Python would be beneficial for someone like me to begin reading? I would appreciate any help or suggestions, thank you.
Online image conversion is the strong suite of Img2Go. And best of all, it's completely free. Additionally, you can professionally edit your photos with the other free image editing tools on the website. Give it a try!
Go to the image conversion tool from Img2Go. This online converter allows you to turn all kinds of files into images. Convert video to image to create screenshots or convert your photos into other formats such as GIF, PNG, SVG, JPEG, and more. And best of all? It's for free!
Uploading your files is easy. Just drag and drop them into the upload area. You can also use the respective buttons to browse your device, specify a link, or use files stored on Dropbox or Google Drive. You can even upload multiple files at once to convert all of them to image formats such as SVG, PNG, or GIF.
Select the output image format for the file conversion. You can choose from a big list of popular image formats but also not as well-known formats from the drop-down menu. During the conversion, you can also apply basic image editing.
Change the quality, DPI, and image size, as well as use some image enhancements. These are completely optional for the conversion though. If you don't want or need to use them, just skip to step 3.
Once you are done, all you have to do is click on "Start". Img2Go will take care of the image conversion for you. All you have left to do is saving the image after it's ready.
You can also save it to Google Drive or Dropbox, of course, or edit the image even further. If you converted several files at once, you also have the possibility to download all of them in one, handy ZIP archive. Just click on the respective button.
There are so many image formats out there, because each comes with its own specifications. Sometimes, you need an image with a low file size, sometimes you need one that can easily be scaled, and sometimes you need one that supports transparency.
Yes, at Img2Go, we make sure that your files are as safe as can be. No thrid party has access to your images. All image conversions and editing are handled by our servers so nobody has a look at your files manually.
For my work I have 986 files that are in the .oir (Olympus) format. Our institute got the chance to play around with a new Olympus confocal and I do not have access to their software. Eager to see how my images came out, I installed the Olympus plugin on ImageJ (technically I am running FIJI, version 1.51g) and was able to open the files and play around with them.
There is a post by @ctrueden in another thread that might be helpful for you. Especially the Process_Folder.ijm macro. You can replace lines 28 and 29 with the loading mechanism of the Olympus plugin as recorded by the Plugins > Macros > Record command. For more information take a look at the Introduction to Macro Programming page of the ImageJ wiki.
Automatically convert JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF bitmap images to true SVG, EPS, and PDF vector images online by simply uploading them. Real full-color tracing, no software to install and results are ready right away!
Stand-alone desktop application to convert bitmap images to vector images offline. Supports all the Online Edition file formats, plus AI and DXF output. Works seamlessly with Illustrator, Corel, and others.
Your logo represents your brand and is used across a wide range of media: your website, business cards, flyers, banners, etc. Ensure a consistent and crisp display in all contexts by having it in vector format.
Quickly get bitmap source material into your vector compositions, opening up a range of creative possibilities. Or go old-school and draw something on paper, then scan, vectorize, and refine your creation.
Vector Magic analyzes your image and automatically detects appropriate settings to vectorize it with, and then goes ahead and traces out the underlying shapes in full color. This makes getting started a real breeze: just upload your image and presto, a result to review!
If you compare results from other tools, you will notice that Vector Magic produces vectors that are more faithful to the bitmap original. This makes them often immediately usable, and if cleanup is required there's much less of it.
With the high cost of outsourcing and the time hand-tracing takes, Vector Magic pays for itself with even a minimum of use. And since usage is unlimited, it always makes sense to try it on any image you need vectorized.
Vector images consist of shapes like circles, rectangles, lines and curves, while bitmap images, also known as raster images, consist of a grid of pixels. Vectorization or tracing is the process of taking a bitmap image and re-drawing it as a vector image.
The shapes in vector images allow computers to do things that cannot be done with bitmap images, like scale them to any size without loss of quality and using them to e.g. cut, sew, paint, and laser engrave.
These have smaller file sizes but do not store a perfect copy of the image. They are best suited to photographs and other images where perfect accuracy is not important. They are also commonly used on the web to save bandwidth.
One of the most widely-used image formats. It has excellent compression characteristics and has the nice feature that the user may specify what level of compression they desire, trading off fidelity for file size.
Adobe's EPS format (Encapsulated PostScript) is perhaps the most common vector image format. It is the standard interchange format in the print industry. It is widely supported as an export format, but due to the complexity of the full format specification, not all programs that claim to support EPS are able to import all variants of it. Adobe Illustrator and recent versions of CorelDRAW have very good support for reading and writing EPS. Ghostview can read it very well but does not have any editing capabilities. Inkscape can only export it.
The W3C standard vector image format is called SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). Inkscape and recent versions of Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW have good support for reading and writing SVG. Further information on the SVG format may be found on the official SVG website.
