Frames and timing are kept
Each frame keeps its delay and transparency, and the parts that do not change between frames are stored only once.

THREE SMALL STEPS
How to convert a GIF to WebP
-
01
Open your GIF
Drop or choose an animated or still GIF up to 20 MB, and check its dimensions, frame count and duration.
-
02
Choose the compression
Lossy compression makes video clips and photos much smaller. Lossless keeps exact colors for logos, pixel art and screen recordings.
-
03
Compare and download
Watch the converted animation next to the GIF, compare the two file sizes, then download the WebP file.
Good to know
Converted on your device
The GIF is decoded and encoded in your browser by a WebP encoder built into the page. Nothing is uploaded.
The animation loops forever
The WebP always repeats, like most GIFs. A GIF set to play only a few times will loop without stopping.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Does GIF to WebP conversion keep the animation?
Yes. This converter writes animated WebP with the decoded frames and their timing. Preview the result and compare its file size. Lossless output preserves the decoded colors, but it is not guaranteed to be smaller than the GIF.
Why is my WebP larger than the GIF?
Lossless WebP can be larger for some small or flat animations. Try lossy compression, or keep the GIF if it is already smaller.
Do animated WebP files work everywhere?
They play in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Some older apps and messaging services still only accept GIF.
How large can the GIF be?
Up to 20 MB and 40 million pixels across all frames, for example 500 frames of 400 × 200 pixels. Larger animations could exhaust the memory of the browser.
