FAQ
Why convert GIF to WebP?
WebP provides better compression than GIF while supporting millions of colors instead of just 256. This means better quality, smaller files, and faster loading websites.
Will transparency be preserved?
Yes! WebP fully supports transparency, including partial transparency (alpha channel) which is better than GIF's binary transparency.
What happens to animated GIFs?
This converter processes the first frame of animated GIFs into a static WebP image. WebP does support animation, but this tool focuses on static image conversion.
Is WebP supported everywhere?
Yes, all modern browsers support WebP. For older software compatibility, you might need to keep a GIF or PNG version as backup.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
