GIF to WebP Converter
Turn GIF files into WebP in seconds. Everything happens on your device: nothing is uploaded, and there's no limit.
Your images are processed in this browser tab and never uploaded.
Why convert GIF to WebP?
GIFs are limited to 256 colours and can be large.
WebP files are much smaller, so websites load faster and use less storage.
What to expect
- Animated GIFs: the first frame is converted.
- WebP is lossy, so the file gets much smaller. At the default quality (90%) the difference is very hard to see; you can change it before converting.

About the formats
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format, 1987) is one of the oldest web formats. It is limited to 256 colours per frame but supports simple transparency and animation, which is why it is still used for short loops and memes.
WebP (WebP, 2010) is Google's modern web format. It makes files roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at the same visual quality and supports both transparency and animation.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert GIF to WebP?
Drop your GIF files into the box above (or tap Select files), check the options, then press Convert. Each WebP downloads on its own, or you can download them all as one ZIP file.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your GIF files are never sent to a server, so they stay private, and it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Is there a limit on how many GIF files I can convert?
No. Convert as many as you like, for free, without signing up. Very large batches are processed one after another so your browser stays responsive.
Will I lose quality converting to WebP?
WebP uses lossy compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. Move the Quality slider up for the highest fidelity or down for smaller files.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
