Choose an output format

Pick from over a hundred output formats. Filter by category or search by name - every option is open to everyone, no account needed.

03

What is an XPS file?

XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a fixed-layout document format developed by Microsoft and later standardized as ECMA-388 (Open XML Paper Specification). It serves as a page description language similar to PDF, utilizing a ZIP-based container to hold XML markup (XAML) for layout, embedded fonts, and vector graphics. The format ensures document fidelity across different printers and displays by defining the precise position of every element on the page.

How to open an XPS file

Windows operating systems (Vista through 10) include a native 'XPS Viewer' application. On Windows 11, this feature is optional and may require manual activation via 'Optional Features'. Non-Windows users must rely on third-party tools like MuPDF or online conversion services to view or convert the content to PDF.

What is a WEBP file?

WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google specifically for web optimization, utilizing the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) container. It employs predictive coding based on the VP8 video codec for lossy compression and the LZ77 algorithm with entropy coding for lossless compression. WebP supports transparency (alpha channel) in both lossy and lossless modes, as well as animation, often achieving file sizes 26-34% smaller than comparable JPEG or PNG files while maintaining high structural similarity (SSIM) index scores.

How to open a WEBP file

WebP is natively supported by all modern web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari. For offline viewing, Windows 10 and 11 support WebP via the Photos app (often requiring the Webp Image Extensions package), while macOS users can view them in Preview (macOS Big Sur and later). Legacy systems or incompatible editors require conversion tools or third-party viewers like IrfanView to render the image data.
