How do I convert GIF to WebP?

Upload your GIF file above. It is converted to WebP automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting GIF to WebP lose quality?

WebP is lossy by default, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. Raise the quality or switch on lossless in Settings for a closer copy.

Will the WebP keep the transparent background?

Yes. WebP supports smooth, partial transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

Will the animation be kept?

Yes. Every frame and its timing carries over to the WebP.

GIF is the original web animation format. Each frame can use only 256 colours, so it suits simple graphics and short loops rather than photos.

Is the GIF to WebP converter free?

Yes. Convert, preview and download a single result without creating an account. Premium adds batch conversion (many files into one ZIP) and larger uploads.
