GIF to WebP Converter

Turn animated GIFs into animated WebP stickers and banners with every frame, the timing and soft transparency kept - the smaller, sharper GIF replacement.

How to convert GIF to WEBP

  1. Add your GIF files. Drop up to 50 GIF files into the box, or browse for them. They never leave your device.
  2. Keep every frame. All frames and their timing go into one animated WebP. Change the speed or loop, or keep every 2nd frame for a lighter file.
  3. Size it. Stickers: Resize to Max width 512 px. Banners: keep the original size. Quality 80-85 looks like the GIF.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to WebP. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Using it on a website? Put the WebP in a picture element with a fallback for very old browsers.

Why convert GIF to WebP?

Animated WebP is what WhatsApp and Telegram stickers, modern websites and many apps use instead of GIF.

It keeps full colour and soft edges where a GIF has 256 colours and jagged transparency.

And it is usually far smaller, so animations start playing sooner.
