80% smaller
Animated WEBP is dramatically more efficient than GIF — same animation, often a fifth of the file size. Faster page loads, smoother playback.
Full 24-bit colour
GIF maxes out at 256 colours, causing banding in gradients and skin tones. Animated WEBP uses full 24-bit colour — cleaner output for any non-pixel-art source.
Private & secure
Files are uploaded over HTTPS, processed in the EU, never shared, and permanently deleted within 1 hour.

Common questions

Why convert GIF to WEBP?

WEBP supports animation just like GIF, but with massively better compression and 24-bit colour. Switching every GIF on a website to WEBP typically cuts image weight by 75–85% with no visible quality loss. Major browsers have supported animated WEBP since 2020.

Should I use MP4 instead?

If your "GIF" is showing video content (a short clip, a screen recording, a demo loop), MP4 is even smaller and supports sound — try our GIF to MP4 converter. WEBP is best for genuine animated images: stickers, reaction GIFs, icon animations, anywhere transparency matters.

Is there a file size limit?

Free users can convert GIF files up to 25 MB without an account, or up to 10 conversions per day with a free account. Pro users get 500 MB per file and 3,000 credits a month. Business users get up to 5 GB.
