GIF to WebP Converter

GIF to WebP Converter

This tool accepts GIF files, which hold at most 256 colours per frame and may contain several frames. The result is WebP, a modern web format that keeps transparency and reaches a smaller size at comparable quality — at the cost of older software that may not open it.

How to convert GIF to WebP

1. Select or drag GIF files into the upload area.
2. Confirm that the requested output format is WebP.
3. Start the conversion and review the status of each file.
4. Download each result once processing has finished.

Convert several files in one batch

The interface currently accepts up to 10 files per batch. Files are processed one after another; duplicates, mislabeled files and damaged files may be skipped or reported as errors.

File size after conversion

The size usually falls noticeably compared with older formats at the same visible quality. That is the main reason to use this format.

Check the result

Check gradients, skin tones and areas of flat colour, and confirm the file opens in the application you actually publish through. If the source had several frames, expect only the first one in the result unless the target format supports animation.

Limits worth knowing

This tool changes the file format. It does not guarantee that every piece of metadata, every format-specific property or every embedded object survives the conversion. Keep the source file and test the result in the application where you plan to use it.

Frequently asked questions

Will every program open this format?

No. Current browsers do; older image editors and some operating-system previews may not.

Is the quality lower than the source?

It can be — the format compresses lossily by default — but at a smaller size than older formats reach for the same appearance.

Which frame is used?

The first one, unless the target format can store animation as well.

Is my original file replaced?

No. The file on your device is left untouched.
