Convert GIF to WebP Online Free & Fast
Turn your GIF images into smaller WebP files in seconds. No installs, no software just upload, convert and download.
This tool converts GIF images to WebP format directly in your browser. If you're here because you specifically want to keep an animated GIF's motion in a smaller, more efficient file, please note: this tool does not preserve animation. Like most standard format converters, it extracts a single frame (typically the first) to create a static WebP image. For static GIFs, WebP typically produces a smaller file than GIF at similar visual quality, and any transparency in your GIF carries over cleanly, since both formats support it. Upload your file and download a WebP in seconds; it's deleted automatically within an hour.

Why Convert GIF to WebP
- Smaller static files. WebP typically compresses better than GIF.
- Extracting a still frame. If you only need one frame from an animated GIF, converting to WebP gives you a highly compressed static image.
- Transparency preserved. Like GIF, WebP supports transparency, so it carries over.
- Modern browser support. WebP works in all major browsers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my animated GIF stay animated as a WebP?
No. While WebP itself supports animation, this converter extracts a single still frame (typically the first). If you need to keep the animation, you'll need a specialized animated-GIF-to-animated-WebP tool.
Will the WebP be smaller than my GIF?
Usually, yes. WebP's compression is generally more efficient than GIF's for static images.
Will my GIF's transparency carry over to the WebP?
Yes. Both formats support transparency, so a transparent background in your GIF carries over to the WebP.
Will converting to WebP improve my image's colors?
No. GIF is limited to 256 colors, and converting to WebP can't add back color detail that wasn't in the original GIF, even though WebP itself can represent far more colors.
Why convert GIF to WebP instead of keeping the GIF?
Mainly for smaller file sizes and to move toward a more modern, broadly efficient format.
Is there a limit on how many GIFs I can convert?
The free plan allows 10 conversions a day for files up to 10 MB. Paid plans remove the daily limit and raise the file-size cap.
Is it safe to upload my GIF files?
Yes. Conversion is automated, uploads are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) and every file is permanently deleted within 60 minutes. Your images are never used to train AI models.
