The Khronos Group created the DAE file, a 3D model file format. The format is an XML text-based format, storing the 3D model information in a standardized XML structure, ensuring it is easy to add additional features without introducing compatibility issues.
Many 3D editing applications support the importing and exporting of DAE files, including the popular 3D editor Blender.
Mesh Geometry
DAE files support mesh geometry along with various types of surface definitions, from simple triangles to full polygon meshes. It has support for face and vertex normals and texture coordinates too. Mesh elements defined within the XML structure can be shared between multiple 3D objects within the final rendered scene.
DAE Converter Capabilities
As materials containing texture and color information are both supported by the DAE format, our tool will do its best to include these materials, including any texture files, in the converted file.

A WEBP file is a relatively new image file format designed specifically for storing images used on the web. WEBP files offer the ability to store high-quality, high-resolution images in a highly compressed format, ensuring small file sizes that are essential for use on the internet.
It has been designed to be a modern replacement for the JPEG format, enabling greater compression efficiency with smaller file sizes and enhanced image quality. Specifically designed for use on the web, the WEBP format has quickly found support amongst all the major browsers, with websites starting to support it too.
Uses
From the start, the WEBP format was designed for use on the web, where small file sizes are essential to reducing website bandwidth usage. Many modern websites, especially those with rich content featuring many high-resolution images, are starting to support WEBP images.
