Why convert CGM to WebP?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is the ISO vector graphics standard used for technical illustrations in aerospace, defence and engineering manuals. LibreOffice draws the metafile's lines, filled shapes and text onto a page, which is rendered at 144 dpi so the illustration stays crisp.
WebP stores the rendered image in a modern, efficient format, so the file is noticeably smaller than an equivalent PNG or JPG.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert CGM to WebP?
Drop your CGM file above and press Convert. Our servers open the CGM with LibreOffice, export it as a PDF and render each page of that PDF as the image you chose. The result is saved as a compact WebP image, ready to download.
Do the text labels in a CGM illustration show up in the WebP?
Yes. LibreOffice imports the metafile's text along with its lines and filled shapes, so callouts and labels are drawn in place.
Are the fills and colours of a CGM illustration kept in the WebP?
LibreOffice draws the filled areas, line colours and text as the metafile defines them, and the page is rendered at 144 dpi in full colour.
What happens when a CGM file fills several WebP pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own WebP image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one WebP file.
How much smaller is the WebP from a CGM file?
WebP typically produces files around a quarter to a third smaller than JPG at similar visual quality, and far smaller than PNG, while text and lines stay clear.
Is my .cgm file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
