HDR data will be tone-mapped

Your CR3 file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. WEBP only supports standard dynamic range (SDR). Highlights and shadows will be compressed to fit the 8-bit range — subtle detail in very bright or dark areas may be lost.

Some metadata may not survive

Your CR3 file may contain MakerNote metadata. WEBP has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
