Eagle's built-in "Image Format Converter" plugin can help you convert images to more efficient formats (such as WebP), significantly reducing file size and storage space while maintaining good image quality.

Usage Steps

Open Eagle and go to the Plugin Center
Search for and install the "Image Format Converter" plugin
Return to the library and select the images you want to convert (Note: The conversion process will overwrite the original images. If you need to keep the original files, please right-click and select "Create Copy" first)
Right-click and select > Plugins > Image Format Converter
In the converter interface:
- Select output format (WebP recommended)
- Set quality (lower values result in smaller file sizes but may affect image clarity)
- Click "Start Conversion"
After conversion is complete, you can see that the image file size has been significantly reduced

Important Notes

The conversion process will directly overwrite the original files. Please ensure you backup important images before conversion
WebP format can typically reduce file size by 30-70% compared to JPG or PNG while maintaining visual quality
Quality setting recommendations: 70-80 for web use, 80-90 for photo storage, 90-95 for artwork
WebP format has a maximum dimension limit of 16,383 pixels per side. If your image exceeds this limit, consider using JPG format instead
When batch processing large numbers of images, please ensure your computer has sufficient processing power
