Convert GIF to WebP.
Turn a GIF into a smaller WebP still image in your browser. Transparency is kept and the file never leaves your device.
Why WebP for the web
WebP was designed by Google to replace GIF, PNG and JPG on web pages. It supports transparency like PNG and compresses far better than GIF, which makes pages load faster.
Size change
A still frame saved as WebP is usually noticeably smaller than the GIF it came from, especially for anything photographic, because WebP is not limited to a 256-colour palette.
Done on your device
The conversion uses your browser's own WebP encoder. Nothing is uploaded and there is no daily cap.

GIF to WebP
WebP is a modern web image format, usually 25 to 35% smaller than an equivalent JPG or PNG at similar quality, and it supports transparency. Ideal for fast-loading sites; a few older apps still don't open it.
Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes. Convert GIF to WebP free, with no signup, no watermark and no daily cap, because the conversion runs in your browser.
Is my file private?+
This conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file never uploads to a server.
Is the WebP animated?+
No. The browser encodes a single still frame, normally the first. To keep an animation small, convert the GIF to MP4 or WebM instead.
Can every browser show WebP?+
Yes, all current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display WebP. Some older desktop apps do not, in which case PNG is the safe choice.
