WebP is Google's modern image format delivering superior compression for web publishing. Converting Konica Minolta MRW RAW files to WebP produces compact, web-optimized images that make legacy photographs from the Maxxum, Dynax, and DiMAGE camera systems accessible on modern websites with optimal loading performance.

The distinctive warm CCD color rendition of Konica Minolta cameras translates well to WebP's efficient compression. At quality 80, WebP produces files 25-34% smaller than equivalent JPEG with comparable visual quality — important for web galleries featuring legacy photography collections.

MRW files are completely unusable on the web. Converting to WebP makes Konica Minolta photographs web-ready in the most efficient modern format. For photographers building online galleries or portfolios that include legacy Konica Minolta work, WebP provides faster loading and better mobile experience than JPEG or PNG.

WebP's superior compression is especially beneficial for image-heavy galleries and portfolio sites. When displaying a collection of 6 MP Konica Minolta photographs, the cumulative bandwidth savings from WebP versus JPEG improve page load times, Core Web Vitals scores, and overall user experience. All major browsers support WebP (97%+ globally).

LibRaw (via Sharp) decodes the MRW file, demosaicing the Konica Minolta CCD sensor data and applying camera color corrections. The RGB image is compressed using libwebp's VP8 (lossy) or VP8L (lossless) encoder. At 6 MP, the full-resolution WebP produces compact files of 0.5-2 MB at quality 80. For web thumbnails and gallery images, resizing to web dimensions before compression produces even smaller files. The warm CCD tones compress efficiently in WebP's VP8 codec.

Yes, WebP preserves the distinctive color character of CCD-era cameras excellently. The warm tones and smooth gradations compress efficiently in WebP, often looking better than equivalent-size JPEG.

At quality 80, approximately 0.5-2 MB at full resolution. Resized to 2000 px long edge, files are typically 200-500 KB. This is 25-34% smaller than equivalent JPEG.

Over 97% of browsers support WebP. Provide a JPEG fallback using HTML <picture> element for the small percentage on older browsers.

Lossy at quality 75-85 is ideal for web display of photographs. Lossless is unnecessary for web delivery and produces larger files. Use lossless only when pixel-perfect display is critical.

More than enough. Most web images display at 1000-2000 pixels wide. The 6 MP resolution of Konica Minolta cameras (3008x2000 pixels) provides sharp web display at all reasonable viewing sizes.
