Convert GIF to WebP
Turn GIF images into WebP right in your browser. A modern format that makes smaller files for the web. Nothing is uploaded, and many images convert at once.
Why convert GIF to WebP?
- WebP files are usually much smaller than JPG or PNG at the same visible quality, so pages load faster.
- WebP keeps transparency, so it can replace both JPG and PNG on a website.
- A still GIF is far larger than the same picture in a modern format.
Good to know
- GIF files can be animated. Only the first frame is converted, so an animation becomes a still image.
- WebP trades a little detail for a much smaller file. The quality slider lets you choose how much, and the before/after viewer shows the difference.
- Photo orientation is respected and location (GPS) and camera data is not copied into the converted file.
Questions about GIF to WebP
Will converting GIF to WebP reduce quality?
A little, by design: WebP is a lossy format, so it trades some detail for a smaller file. At the default Balanced setting the difference is rarely visible, and you can raise the quality or compare before and after in the viewer.
Does an animated GIF stay animated?
No. Only the first frame is converted and the result is a still WebP image.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own device. Your images are never sent anywhere, which also means it keeps working on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it is free and there is no account, watermark or daily limit.
How many images can I convert at once?
Up to 200 at a time. Drop a whole folder, convert them together, and download everything as one ZIP file.
