IIQ to WEBP Converter

IIQ (Intelligent Image Quality) is the proprietary raw image format used by Phase One digital cameras and digital backs, primarily medium format systems used in professional photography.

This format stores the unprocessed data directly from the camera's image sensor, preserving the maximum amount of information for post-processing flexibility.

IIQ files typically contain significantly more color information and dynamic range than processed formats like JPEG, allowing for extensive adjustments to exposure, white balance, and color without quality degradation.

Phase One offers two variants: IIQ L (Large) which uses lossless compression and IIQ S (Small) which uses lossy compression while still maintaining very high quality, giving photographers options based on their storage and workflow needs.

IIQ files can be opened with Phase One's Capture One software, which is specifically designed to process these raw files with maximum quality and control.

Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom support IIQ files from supported Phase One cameras, offering an alternative workflow for photographers already using Adobe's ecosystem.

Other professional raw processing applications like DxO PhotoLab, ON1 Photo RAW, and Exposure X may support IIQ files from certain Phase One camera models.

For preview purposes, some general image viewers and operating systems may display the embedded JPEG preview in IIQ files, but cannot access or process the raw data itself.

To convert IIQ files to more widely compatible formats like TIFF, JPEG, or PNG, use our specialized raw converter that preserves the image quality while making it more accessible.

For the highest quality processing and conversion, Phase One's Capture One software offers advanced tools specifically optimized for IIQ files with precise control over all aspects of the image.

When converting from IIQ to other formats, consider 16-bit TIFF for maximum quality retention or DNG (Digital Negative) format to maintain raw processing capabilities in other software.

For web sharing or client previews, converting to standard formats like JPEG with appropriate color space selection (sRGB for web use) ensures proper display across different devices.

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google, designed to provide superior compression and quality for web graphics. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, making it a versatile choice for reducing page load times. Supported extension includes .webp.

WebP files are optimized for online use, offering smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. This format is widely supported across modern web browsers, ensuring high-quality visuals while improving website performance.

Opening WebP files is increasingly supported by various applications and web browsers. On Windows, you can use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge to view WebP images. Additionally, image viewers like IrfanView and Adobe Photoshop (with plugins) support WebP.

For Mac users, Preview can open WebP files in the latest versions, and browsers like Safari and Chrome offer native support. Linux users can utilize applications like GIMP or Shotwell to access WebP images. Ensure your software is updated to the latest version for optimal compatibility.
