GIF to WebP
Convert GIF images to WebP format. WebP offers significantly better compression than GIF while supporting transparency and higher color depth.
WebP is typically 26–34% smaller than GIF while supporting full 24-bit color (GIF is limited to 256 colors) and alpha transparency. Converting GIF frames to WebP improves image quality and reduces bandwidth on modern browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does WebP support animation like GIF?
WebP supports animated images with much better compression than GIF. However, this tool converts single frames. For animated WebP, use dedicated video tools.
Why does WebP look better than GIF?
GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, which causes visible banding on photographs and gradients. WebP supports full 24-bit color (16.7 million colors), producing much more accurate images.
Is the conversion done in my browser?
Yes. All processing happens client-side using the Canvas API. No files are uploaded to a server.
Can I use the WebP in place of a GIF on a website?
Yes. All modern browsers support WebP. Use it in <img> tags or CSS backgrounds exactly like you would a GIF. The browser will display the static frame from the conversion.
