Turn a GIF graphic into a smaller modern WebP image, right in your browser.
Only GIF images are accepted on this page.
Your image never leaves your browser. Conversion happens on your own device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. WebP is usually much smaller than GIF. An animated GIF converts to its first frame only, and converting cannot add colours the GIF never had.
GIF graphics are often far larger than they need to be. The GIF to WebP Converter turns your GIF into a WebP image that is usually much smaller and looks at least as good, which helps pages load faster.
Everything runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server. Choose a GIF file, set the quality if you like, and download the WebP straight to your device.
Use WebP for web graphics where small file size and modern browser support matter. Keep the GIF when the image must work in very old software or a system that only accepts GIF. Converting GIF to WebP cannot add colours the GIF never had, but it can shrink the file a lot without visible loss. An animated GIF becomes a still WebP here, because only the first frame is converted.
Yes, it is completely free with no sign up and no limits. You can convert as many GIF images as you like, as often as you like.
Usually yes, often by a lot, because WebP compresses far better than GIF. The exact saving depends on the image, and the quality slider lets you trade a little detail for an even smaller file.
Only the first frame is converted, so the WebP will be a still image. The animation in the GIF is not carried over.
Yes. Fully transparent pixels stay transparent in the WebP, and WebP can also hold the smooth partial transparency that GIF cannot.
No. The conversion happens in your browser on your own device, so your images never leave your computer.
The tool shows a clear message and does not convert anything. Choose a GIF image and try again.
