Why convert WEBP to PDF?
PDF is the standard format for files shared by email or submitted to portals that do not accept .webp directly. Wrapping a WebP image in a .PDF also lets you combine it with other pages and lock its dimensions for printing or archiving. Some business and government systems require all attachments to be in PDF format.
