Why convert GIF to WebP?
Animated WebP is the modern replacement for animated GIF. Compared to GIF, WebP offers 24-bit color instead of 256, alpha transparency at full fidelity, and 60–90% smaller files at the same visual quality. Modern browsers, Discord, Telegram, and CMSs like WordPress and Shopify all support it.
How it works
- Upload your animated GIF.
- The tool decodes every frame in your browser.
- Each frame is re-encoded with the WebP codec at your chosen quality.
- Frames are muxed into an animated WebP container — same timing, same loop.
- Download. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
