How to Convert ARW to WebP
Add an ARW photo
Upload one ARW file to the online converter for a quick compatibility check, or add it to UniConverter Desktop if you plan to work with multiple photos. Confirm that your particular camera file is accepted before processing a collection.
Select WebP as the output
If WebP is available for your file, select it in the online converter or in UniConverter Desktop. On Desktop, review any output options offered for the selected format.
Render and inspect the image
Start the online conversion and download the WebP result, or convert and save your files in UniConverter Desktop. Compare the rendered image with your intended edit before publishing, and keep the original ARW.

Prepare an Image for a Website
Convert ARW to WebP when you need a rendered image for web publishing rather than a RAW file for continued camera-data editing.
Review the Rendered Appearance
Check color and exposure in the finished WebP. Rendering a RAW photo can produce a different appearance from its preview or a version edited elsewhere.
Keep the ARW Original
Publish the WebP, but retain the ARW if you may want to revisit RAW adjustments later.
