Converting GIF to WebP
This tool converts GIF images to WebP. GIF is an old, widely-supported format limited to 256 colours, known for simple graphics and short animations. WebP is a modern format from Google that is roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at the same quality, with transparency and animation support. You can convert one image or bulk-convert hundreds at once, entirely inside your browser — your files are never sent to a server.
How GIF to WebP works
How to convert GIF to WebP
- Add your GIF image(s). Drag and drop them onto the box, or click Add Image(s) — one file or hundreds at once.
- Choose your options. Set the quality and an optional size — the whole queue re-converts instantly as you adjust.
- Download. Save each WebP file with its Download button, or click Download All to get the whole batch as a ZIP.
One image or a whole batch — same page
There is no separate bulk tool. Drop a single GIF and get one clean WebP; drop an entire folder and they all convert in a queue, each shown as a card with a live thumbnail and the exact before-and-after file size.
Why convert GIF to WebP?
Converting GIF to WebP shrinks file size dramatically, so pages load faster, use less bandwidth and score better on Core Web Vitals — a real SEO advantage.
Note: animated GIFs are converted using their first frame into a single static WebP image.
Is it private?
Yes — conversion runs entirely in your browser using its built-in image engine. Your files are never uploaded, so the tool works offline and keeps confidential images private.
