Where can I use an animated WebP?

Every modern browser displays it, and most websites and apps accept it. Some older chat apps and forums insist on a literal .gif file, so check the destination first.

Will the WebP look better than my GIF?

It can't add detail the GIF has already lost, but it avoids further palette reduction and usually produces a smaller file at comparable quality.

GIF to Animated WebP

Animated WebP compresses better than GIF, with a fuller color range instead of a 256-color palette. Drop in a GIF and get a WebP you can use on websites and in apps that support it. Encoding uses a WebAssembly build of libwebp inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

How it works

1. Drop your GIF onto the stage or use the file picker.
2. Pick a quality preset, resize, or set a target file size.
3. Encode locally and download the WEBP file to your device.
