Why convert CUT to WebP?
CUT is the bitmap format of Media Cybernetics' Dr. Halo paint program for DOS, used in early PC graphics and clip art collections. The picture is decoded by ImageMagick at its original pixel size, keeping the artwork exactly as it was drawn.
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 CUT to WebP?
Drop your CUT file above and press Convert. Our servers decode the CUT image with ImageMagick's Dr. Halo reader into a lossless PNG, then encode it in the format you chose. The result is saved as a compact WebP image, ready to download.
What does a CUT file hold that ends up in the WebP?
A single run-length encoded bitmap. ImageMagick's Dr. Halo decoder unpacks it, and that picture fills the WebP.
Which programs produced the CUT images that convert to WebP?
Dr. Halo, the DOS paint program from Media Cybernetics, and software that shipped its image libraries, such as early PC clip art collections and scanner utilities.
How big is the WebP image from a CUT file?
The WebP keeps the original pixel size of the Dr. Halo picture.
How much smaller is the WebP from a CUT 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 .cut 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.
