DOTM to WEBP conversion is the process of extracting visual content (typically images or rendered slide thumbnails) from a DOTM template file and converting those images into the WEBP image format. This conversion lets you turn graphics embedded in Microsoft Word template files (.dotm) or exported preview images into efficient, web-optimized WEBP images for faster loading and smaller storage.

DOTM files have the MIME type application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled. They are used mainly for document templates including macros in Microsoft Word. WEBP files use the image/webp MIME type and support both lossy and lossless compression codecs, ideal for web graphics and animations.
The WEBP (.WEBP) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like DOTM.
While specific technical details aren't available here, WEBP files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.

DOTM files are Microsoft Word macro-enabled template documents primarily used for creating formatted documents with macros. WEBP is an image format designed for efficient web graphics with superior compression and transparency support. Unlike DOTM, which contains document data and macros, WEBP focuses solely on high-quality, compressed images.
Keep exported WEBP images between 100 KB and 1 MB for web use; thumbnails can be under 100 KB while hero images often sit between 200–800 KB.
Preserve quality by using Lossless WEBP or setting quality to 80–90 for lossy conversions when images contain text or fine detail from DOTM templates.
For many DOTM files, first open and export the embedded images or save slides/previews at a high resolution before converting to WEBP to avoid intermediate rasterization artifacts.
Use batch conversion for multiple files: group DOTM templates and export images in one pass, then convert those images to WEBP with a bulk tool to save time.
