About Windows Metafile (WMF)
Windows Metafile (WMF) is a 16-bit vector format from 1990 that records the drawing commands of the Windows graphics interface (GDI).
Clip art and drawings in older Microsoft Office documents.
WMF is poorly supported outside Windows and has largely been replaced by EMF and SVG.

Why does my WMF image look wrong or blocky on my Mac or phone? The 16-bit Windows Metafile relies on old Windows drawing commands, and other systems render it imperfectly — converting to PNG or SVG fixes the display.
About WebP
WebP is an image format released by Google in 2010. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.
Websites use it to serve images smaller than the equivalent JPEG or PNG; all current browsers display it.
Some older desktop software and many print services still do not accept WebP files.
Why convert images to WebP? It cuts file sizes by a quarter to a third compared with JPG at the same quality, and every current browser displays it.
What changes when you convert WMF to WebP
- The WMF drawing is rendered to WebP pixels at a fixed size, so it no longer scales without blur.
- The WMF drawing becomes a WebP made of pixels at a fixed size, so it no longer scales without losing sharpness.
