WebP vs GIF: why convert?
WebP is a modern image format that is smaller and higher quality than GIF, and it supports animation. The catch is that some older apps, email clients, forums and messaging tools still do not accept WebP, while GIF works almost everywhere.
Converting WebP to GIF trades efficiency for compatibility: you get a file that plays in places WebP is not supported, at the cost of a larger size and GIF's 256-color palette.
Animated WebP to animated GIF
Animated WebP, the kind used for stickers and short loops, converts into an animated, looping GIF with its frames and timing preserved. Static WebP simply becomes a single-frame GIF.
Because GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, gradients and photos can look slightly banded compared with the original WebP. Reducing the output width is the easiest way to keep the GIF a reasonable size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support animated WebP?
Yes. Animated WebP is converted into an animated, looping GIF with its frames preserved. Static WebP becomes a single-frame GIF.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm, so your image never leaves your device. The engine (about 25-30 MB) downloads once on first use and is then cached.
Why is my GIF larger than the WebP?
GIF is an older, less efficient format limited to 256 colors per frame, so it is almost always bigger than the equivalent WebP. Choosing a smaller output width keeps the size down.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limits beyond your own device's memory.
