Convert GIF to WebP for smaller file size on the web
About GIF to WebP
Animated GIFs are notorious for being bloated, which slows down pages and chats. Converting GIF to WebP keeps the animation but slashes the file size, so the same loop loads faster and uses far less bandwidth.
Upload your animated GIF and download an animated WebP that plays the same way but weighs much less. WebP handles both animation and transparency efficiently. The tool runs in your browser, free and signup-free, and your file is removed as soon as the conversion is done.
Common uses
- Shrinking heavy animated GIFs for faster websites
- Reducing bandwidth for looping animations on the web
- Replacing large GIFs with lighter animated WebP files
- Keeping animation while cutting file size dramatically

FAQ
Does the animation survive the conversion?
Yes. WebP supports animation, so your GIF's moving frames are preserved in the WebP file.
How much smaller is animated WebP?
It varies, but animated WebP is often dramatically smaller than the same GIF while looking just as good.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. WebP supports transparency, so transparent areas in the GIF carry over to the WebP.
Does WebP support animated GIFs?
Yes — WebP supports animation with much smaller file sizes than GIF. An animated GIF converted to WebP is typically 50–70% smaller.
Why use animated WebP over GIF?
WebP supports 16 million colours (GIF only has 256), produces smaller files, and supports alpha transparency. Chrome and Firefox fully support animated WebP.
Can I use GIF to WebP on mobile?
