Animated WebP to GIF with a Measured Compression Example

This 96 × 64 pixel gradient changes color four times per loop. Each frame lasts 120 milliseconds, so a complete loop takes 0.48 seconds. Use it to check whether a conversion keeps the animation moving at the expected speed.

Convert at the original size

Choose the sample WebP, keep its original width and select 256 colors. Convert to GIF. The result should report four frames and continuous playback. Our 1,650-byte WebP produced a 21,886-byte GIF. File sizes depend on the image and encoder settings.

Compress the result

Choose Compress this GIF to open the generated file in GIF Compressor. Select 64 colors, leave the optional target size empty and convert. The sample produced a 10,230-byte GIF, about 53% smaller than the first GIF. Both versions are available below so you can inspect the gradients and playback before choosing a file.

Look for bands where the colors change gradually. If those bands are visible at your intended display size, try 128 colors or keep the original GIF. For this example, even the smaller GIF is larger than the source WebP.
