Convert WEBP to CALS

The WebP file extension stands for "Web Picture", a modern image format developed by Google. It aims to reduce file size without compromising quality, making it ideal for web use. Introduced in 2010, WebP supports both lossless and lossy compression, which enhances web performance and speeds up page loading times. This efficiency makes it a preferred choice for web developers and IT specialists focused on optimizing website performance.

The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
