Frequently asked questions
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
Yes. The output WebP file contains all frames and timing data from the original GIF. The animation plays exactly as in the original — animated WebP is a direct replacement for animated GIF in modern browsers.
Typically 25–40% smaller. WebP uses modern compression that handles the repeated patterns in animation frames far more efficiently than GIF's LZW compression. For GIFs with large flat-color areas or repeated content, savings can reach 50%.
GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, uses a 1-bit transparency mask (pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque), and can only loop at fixed intervals. Animated WebP supports full 24-bit color, proper alpha transparency, and more precise timing — though for most web animations these differences are not visible.
Animated WebP is supported in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari (since version 14, 2020). It also works on iOS and Android. The only platforms that still require GIF are old email clients and legacy systems.
