GIF supports animation and simple on/off transparency but only 256 colours per frame, so photos saved as GIF look banded and grainy.. Drop your GIF files into the converter below and every one becomes a WebP straight away, right on your any computer or phone – nothing is uploaded.

What changes when you convert GIF to WebP
- WebP is lossy. The Quality slider starts at 90%, which looks the same as the original for nearly every photo; lower it for a smaller file and the preview shows the new size before you download.
- Check that wherever you're uploading accepts WebP – most websites and browsers do, but some older apps and forms don't.
- Only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted – the result is a still image.
About GIF and WebP
- GIF supports animation and simple on/off transparency but only 256 colours per frame, so photos saved as GIF look banded and grainy.
- WebP is Google's image format for websites. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and is usually 25–35% smaller than an equivalent JPG – but some editing apps, older software and upload forms still reject it.
Good to know
- There's no limit on the number of files. Large batches just take longer, because your own device does the work.
- Duplicate names get a number added (photo.jpg, photo-2.jpg) so nothing in the ZIP is overwritten.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting GIF to WebP?
At the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. WebP is lossy, so very low quality settings will show blur or blocky edges.
Can I convert several GIF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like; each converts on its own, and Download all saves them in one ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor, so your photos never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
