WebP and AVIF typically deliver 25–50% smaller files than JPEG at the same visual quality.

Why convert GIF to WebP?

GIF is a 1987 format limited to 256 colors, and it shows: files are large and quality is poor. Converting to WebP gives you full 24-bit color and dramatically smaller files. Note that this tool converts the first frame of animated GIFs — it is ideal for static GIFs, stickers and legacy graphics rather than full animations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this convert animated GIFs?
The converter captures the first frame of an animated GIF and saves it as a static WebP. Static GIFs, stickers and legacy web graphics convert perfectly.
Why is WebP better than GIF for images?
GIF is limited to a 256-color palette and compresses poorly. WebP supports 16.7 million colors plus alpha transparency and produces far smaller files at higher quality.
Will my GIF’s transparency be kept?
Yes — WebP supports transparency, so the transparent areas of your GIF are preserved in the output.
