How to convert ORA to WebP

  1. Add your ORA paintings

    Drop ORA (OpenRaster) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. WebP is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the WebP, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The ORA to WebP converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your paintings are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

ORA to WebP: what to expect

ORA opens in few programs outside open-source painting tools. WebP is smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and keeps transparency. ORA is at home in exchanging layered artwork between open-source programs; WebP is the usual choice for images on websites.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can set the quality, aim for a target file size and resize the result.

The WebP encoder is a WebAssembly module that downloads the first time you convert to WebP and is cached afterwards. The picture is the flattened image that the painting program stored in the file, so the layers are not kept and cannot be edited afterwards.

ORA vs WebP

ORA

OpenRaster image

OpenRaster is an open format for layered images. The file is a ZIP holding each layer as a PNG, a small XML description of the stack, a flattened preview and a thumbnail, so any program can unpack it. It exists so artists can move layered work between painting programs.

Opens in Krita, GIMP, MyPaint, Pinta and other open-source painting programs

WEBP

WebP image

WebP is Google's image format for the web. It is typically a quarter to a third smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and supports both transparency and animation. Browsers handle it well; older editors, printers' portals and some messaging apps do not.

Questions

Are my paintings uploaded anywhere?

No. The ORA to WebP conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting ORA to WebP reduce quality?

A little: ToAny writes WebP in its lossy mode, so a small amount of detail is traded for a much smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can raise the quality under Options; there is no lossless setting.

Can I convert several ORA files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert ORA to WebP on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the ORA file, press Convert and save the WebP. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
