WEBP

Max file size: 16 MiB

Keeps the animation

Every WebP frame becomes a GIF frame, with its timing and the original loop count: forever, once or a set number of plays.

See the size, then compress

Compare the WebP and GIF sizes, then try 128, 64 or 32 colors in one click. Earlier results stay available to download.

Transparency and width

Keep transparent areas or fill them with white or black, and optionally limit the width to 800, 640, 480 or 320 pixels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my animated WebP still move after converting?

Yes. Each frame of the animation is written to the GIF, together with its display time and the loop count. A WebP with a single frame becomes a still GIF.

Does the GIF keep the same speed?

GIF stores frame timing in 10 ms steps, so times are rounded to the nearest step while the total length stays within a few milliseconds of the original. Browsers play frames shorter than 20 ms much more slowly, so those frames are lengthened to the speed viewers actually see: 100 ms for frames of 10 ms or less, 20 ms otherwise. The result tells you when this happens.

Why is my GIF larger than the WebP?

WebP uses modern compression and millions of colors, while GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame and older compression. A GIF is often several times larger. Use Compress to try a smaller palette, or choose a smaller maximum width before converting.

What happens to transparent areas?

GIF pixels are either fully transparent or fully visible. Pixels at least half opaque stay visible and the rest become transparent, which can make soft edges look jagged. Choose a white or black fill to blend soft edges onto a solid background instead.

How large can the WebP be?

Upload one WebP up to 16 MiB, up to 4096 pixels per side and 500 frames, with at most 32 million pixels across all frames. Conversion stops after 90 seconds.

Where is the file converted?

The WebP is uploaded to the server for conversion. The GIF download link stays available for a limited time, so download the result you want to keep.
