Why convert GIF to WebP?
GIF is lossless (legacy GIF workflows and simple palette graphics). WebP is lossy (web delivery when you want smaller files with alpha support). Converting GIF to WebP remaps pixels into the target container in your browser. WebP can store transparency even if the GIF source did not.
What changes in the file
- WebP uses lossy compression — choose quality carefully for sharp graphics
- WebP can keep an alpha channel for later edits
- You can resize, adjust quality where relevant, and strip EXIF on export
- Conversion runs on this device — the file is not uploaded
How to convert GIF to WebP
- Drop one or more GIF files onto the converter (or pick them from disk).
- Confirm the output is set to WebP, then adjust quality, size, or metadata if needed.
- Download the converted WebP file — processing never left your browser.
