Convert WEBP to TXT

TXT is the file format which is used to store standard text where information is put together with no special effects. A computer file system is used to pile up the data. This unformatted text is just a series of text where only the font style can be altered. This is especially used to make notes in which the appearance of things do not matter. Microsoft Notepad and Apple TextEdit are the two examples of this plain text software. The corrupted data can be retrieved with ease and one can continue his work on the same file. The main advantages of this are the sequence of bytes in storage (endianness) and padding bytes that is inserting of empty bytes between memory addresses. Contrary, entropy is a demerit in this format which means that it takes more storage space than required.

In TXT, there is no need for additional metadata, the reader is only expected to know the character set. ASCII is the most compatible in this case where it comprises of letters, numbers and symbols or special characters. In Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS, Carriage return (CR) and Line feed (LF) are the two characters that are used to separate the text of each line. CR act as a control character which resets itself to the beginning of the current line text. On the other hand, LF indicates the end of a line of the text and it moves to the opening of a new line. These files are especially used to keep the source code where file name suffixes indicate the programming language in which source is penned.

WebP is a file format which uses both lossy and lossless compressions to encode the files. It was developed by Google in order to facilitate the work online which can be done quickly and easily with this extension. This is a sister project of WebM Multimedia container and it produces high quality of images. It is claimed that it can reduce the file size by 34% without affecting the quality of a photo. Due to this reduced size, online work can be done in less time as these files can offer high speed over the Internet due to small size. This format provides add-on support to the lossless algorithm, metada, transparency, colour profile and animation.

Intra frame coding that is used in video format and the resource interchange file format, are base for its lossy compression. Only 16,383 pixels can be used to represent the side length of an image. Besides this, it is based on block prediction in which every block is forecasted as per the values, from the three blocks above it and from a one block to the left of it. Horizontal, vertical, DC (one colour) and Truemotion are the four basic modes of block prediction in this extension. Animated images can also be produced using WebP and this is a substitute to famous GIF format. It comes with many improved features. For instance, 24 – bit colour with transparency, joining of frames with both lossy and lossless compressions in the same animation and providing support to seek to a specific frame.
