Transform your animated GIF files into WebP format, reducing file size by up to 64% while preserving animation quality and transparency. Perfect for websites, social media, and messaging apps.
WebP animations are up to 64% smaller than equivalent GIFs, making your website faster and reducing bandwidth.
WebP supports 24-bit RGB color with 8-bit alpha channel, while GIF only supports 256 colors.
WebP's advanced compression preserves more detail, resulting in smoother and more vibrant animations.
WebP allows combining lossy and lossless frames in a single animation for optimal size and quality.
Achieves the smallest file sizes (up to 64% smaller than GIF) by allowing some quality reduction. Ideal for web use where file size is critical.
Preserves all visual information with no quality loss. Files are still about 19% smaller than GIF. Perfect when every detail matters.
Automatically analyzes each frame to determine optimal compression. Complex frames use lossy, simple frames use lossless for the best balance.
With lossless compression, there is no quality loss at all. With lossy compression, there may be minor quality reduction, but WebP's algorithms maintain excellent visual quality even at high compression rates. Use the quality slider to control the balance.
As of 2025, all major browsers support animated WebP, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For older browsers, you can provide a fallback GIF version using the <picture> element.
Yes, our converter preserves the exact frame timing from your original GIF. Each frame's display duration is maintained in the WebP animation, ensuring it plays at the same speed and rhythm.
Our converter supports GIF files up to 10MB. For larger files, consider using our GIF Compressor first. Most animated GIFs used on websites are well below this limit.
For most web use, a quality of 75-85% provides excellent results with significant size savings. For critical animations where quality is paramount, use lossless mode or quality above 90%.
