PWP to IPL conversion is the process of transforming an image file stored in the PWP (proprietary web picture) format into the IPL (image palette layer) format so it can be opened, edited, or used by apps that require IPL. The conversion remaps PWP image data—including layers, palettes, and compression metadata—into IPL’s structure while attempting to preserve visual fidelity and layer information where possible.
