WebP to PDF

Why is the WebP to PDF file bigger than my images?

WebP is an unusually compact format. Google's WebP page puts lossy WebP at 25–34% smaller than comparable JPEG images. Inside the PDF the picture is stored differently: an ordinary image as a 92% JPEG with Original quality, a transparent one as lossless data.

So the PDF often comes out heavier. In our test a small WebP grew to nearly three times its size as a PDF. If that matters, choose Smaller file, which limits the longer side to 2,480 pixels at 75%.

What happens to animated WebP files?

A PDF page can't play animation, so an animated WebP contributes its first frame as one still page. To show more of the motion, save the frames you want as separate images and add them one by one.

Same as image or A4 for WebP pictures?

Web graphics come in all shapes: banners, tall infographics, square product shots. Same as image fits each page tightly around the picture, which suits reading on a screen.

Choose A4 or Letter when the PDF will be printed or submitted, so every page has the same size regardless of the picture. A small margin keeps edges away from where a printer may clip them.
