Convert farbfeld to WebP
WebP gives you roughly 30% smaller files than JPG at similar quality, and it can keep transparency. Everything happens locally: farbfeld files are decoded by your browser and written back out as WebP without ever touching a server.

What is farbfeld?
A deliberately minimal lossless format from the suckless project. Sixteen bits per channel, no compression, no metadata — the point is that the format is trivially correct.
Why convert farbfeld to WebP?
WebP gives you roughly 30% smaller files than JPG at similar quality, and it can keep transparency.
It exists to be an intermediate, not an archive. You convert out of it when the pipeline is finished and you need a file humans can actually open.
How this converter handles farbfeld
16-bit RGBA samples are decoded and mapped down to 8 bits per channel.
Why the conversion happens on your device
This page is a static file. There is no upload endpoint, no queue and no server-side conversion step — the work is done by JavaScript running in your own browser. That has three practical consequences:
- Nothing is transmitted. Open your browser's network panel and confirm it yourself.
- No file size limit. Server-based converters cap uploads and throttle repeat use. Your machine has no such quota.
- No queue. Conversion starts immediately and runs at local speed.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this really free?
- Yes, with no account, no watermark and no per-file limit. There is no server cost to recover because no server is involved.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. The page has no backend to upload to. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools, or by loading the page and disconnecting from the internet before converting.
- Does converting farbfeld to WebP lose quality?
- WebP is a lossy format, so there is some loss — it is a trade-off you make deliberately in exchange for a much smaller file. Use the quality slider to control it; 90% and above is usually indistinguishable for photographic content.
- Can I convert many files at once?
- Yes — drop a batch and they are processed one after another.
- What if my browser cannot decode farbfeld?
- For formats browsers do not support natively (TGA, QOI, PPM/PGM/PBM, farbfeld, BMP, ICO) FormatAtlas ships its own decoder, so support does not depend on your browser version.
