About GIF to WebP

A few things worth knowing before you convert GIF to WebP.

GIF is limited to 256 colours, which makes photos band and posterise badly

WebP gives you the smallest file at the same visual quality, which is why the web runs on it

An animated GIF keeps only its first frame; WebP is a still format

Browser-side processingSupports PNG / JPEG / WEBP / AVIF / GIF / BMP / HEIC

Notes and limitations

A few limitations and notes worth knowing before you use the tool.

Your GIF images are never uploaded — every conversion runs in your browser.

Close the tab and nothing is left behind: we store no images and keep no history.

There is no file limit, and we never watermark the WebP results.

FAQ

A few common questions before you start.

Are my GIF images uploaded to a server?

No. Your GIF files never leave your device — reading, decoding and exporting all happen in the browser, and nothing is stored on a server.

Is GIF to WebP free? Is there a file limit?

It is completely free and needs no account. Drop in as many GIF files as you like, convert them to WebP in one batch, and download everything as a ZIP.

Does an animated GIF stay animated as WebP?

Only the first frame survives. WebP is a still image format, so the remaining frames of an animated GIF are dropped — use a video or GIF tool if you need the motion.

Will the file get smaller after GIF to WebP?

Usually much smaller. GIF does not compress with loss, so the same picture saved as WebP often ends up a fraction of the size — far easier to upload or send.

Can I control the WebP compression quality?

Yes. WebP lets you set the compression quality; the default of 82 balances size and detail well. Photos usually survive 70, and anything above 90 keeps fine detail.
