UNDERSTAND YOUR FILES

GIF vs. WebP: what changes?

Input · GIF

A palette-based image format that can contain animation. These conversion tools export one still frame.

Output · WebP

A modern web image format supporting transparency; browser WebP export can be lossy.

Static WebP is often efficient for web thumbnails and can keep transparency. Choosing an output format changes how another app reads the file; it does not restore detail missing from your source.

Which settings should you choose?

Try Balanced (88%) first, inspect the preview, then switch to Compact for a smaller result or Detailed for greater fidelity. These are export quality settings, not promises of a particular compression ratio.

Your files and privacy

Your selected file is converted on your device. You can download the new file while keeping the original unchanged.

Some formats work differently across browsers and devices. Check the converted result before using it for important work. Advertising and other optional website services may have separate privacy practices.

Format compatibility and limitations

It does not create an animated WebP: only the first displayed GIF frame is exported. WebP encoding support depends on the browser.

Actual output behavior depends on the input file, your browser, device resources and the converter engine. Check important files before sharing or replacing them.
