HGL to WEBP Conversion: FAQ
What are HGL files?
HGL files are the vintage blueprints of the digital world - they're the instructions that old plotter machines used to follow to draw technical designs with actual pens. Developed by HP for their plotters, these files tell the machine where to move, when to lift the pen, and what lines to draw. While they were big in the 80s and 90s for engineering drawings, today you'll mostly encounter them when digging up old project files or working with specialized equipment. The good news is you can easily convert them to modern formats using current software, which is handy whether you're preserving old designs or updating them for new uses. They're like the cassette tapes of the design world - outdated, but still containing valuable content you might want to preserve.
What are WEBP files?
WebP is an image file format released by Google in 2010 with the aim of challenging the leading positions of JPG and PNG in the domain of storing and transferring digital images. The purpose of the WebP format is to improve the speed of browsing by offering the same quality as JPEG or PNG, but in a smaller size. WebP images can contain both lossy and lossless compression. They continue, however, to be incompatible with some image viewers and browsers, and are often described by analysts as "work in progress" — a format that still needs to be developed.
