GIF to WebP
Convert animated GIFs to WebP for dramatically smaller file sizes with animation preserved — free, instant, and processed entirely in your browser.
About the GIF to WebP Converter
Animated WebP can be far smaller than an equivalent GIF — often 50-80% smaller — while supporting far more colors and smoother transparency, since GIF is limited to a 256-color palette. That size difference matters a lot for pages using animated GIFs for reactions, memes, or product demos, where GIF file size is often the single biggest page-weight offender.
This tool decodes your GIF frame-by-frame and re-encodes it as an animated WebP, all inside your browser. Timing between frames is preserved, so the animation plays back the same way — just in a much lighter file.
