Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert GIF to WebP?
WebP compresses much better than a GIF still frame, so the file is smaller and pages load faster. It is supported on all modern browsers.
Does it keep the animation?
No. This exports the first frame as a still WebP. Animated WebP is not produced here.
Does it keep transparency?
Yes. WebP supports an alpha channel, so a transparent GIF background stays transparent.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser and works offline.
How much smaller will it be?
Usually a lot, because WebP is far more efficient than a GIF frame. The tool shows the exact before and after sizes.
Does it keep the same dimensions?
Yes. The pixel width and height stay identical.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser, with nothing to install.
Can I convert several GIFs at once?
One file at a time so you can preview each result. Use Convert Another to continue.
