How WEBM Handles RAW Data
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the WebM Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in WebM Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality RAW Image input produces an excellent WebM Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. RAW Image encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. WebM Video similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Converting a static RAW Image image to WebM Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless RAW source retains all original data. Converting to lossy WEBM will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
