Convert a GIF to an animated WebP

An animated WebP looks like the GIF but is often a fraction of the size, with full-colour frames and smooth transparency. This reads every frame of your GIF, replays its timing and clean-up rules, and writes them into a single animated WebP, entirely in your browser.

Use the quality slider to trade size against detail. Turn off Keep the animation to get a still WebP of the first frame instead.

What this does — and what it doesn't

  • Animated WebP plays in every current browser, but some chat apps and older editors still only accept GIF.
  • Very long or very large GIFs are cut short to keep the browser from running out of memory: up to 500 frames, and fewer for big pictures (about 150 for a 1000 by 1000 GIF). Every frame is encoded separately, so big ones take a while. The result row tells you the frame count.

GIF to WebP — frequently asked questions

How much smaller will it be?
Typically a half to a tenth of the GIF, depending on the picture. Drag the quality slider to see the size change before you download.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes. Drop or choose as many files as you like: they are all converted with the same settings, you see each result's size before downloading, and Download all gives you one ZIP. To shrink files without changing their format, the Image Compressor is the better fit.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the canvas API and, for some formats, WebAssembly — the image never leaves your device. Most conversions keep working with the internet switched off once the page has loaded. A few (HEIC, TIFF, AVIF and PNG to SVG) download a helper file from this site the first time you use them; if you are offline at that moment you are told so, not blamed for a broken file. There is no upload endpoint to send anything to.
Is it really free?
Yes — no account, no watermark, no daily limit, and no paid step at download. It's free because there's no server doing the work, so it costs us almost nothing to run.
