    Conversion happens on your device using your browser's own image engine. Your files are never uploaded, so there is no size limit beyond your device's memory.

    WebP fixes what GIF gets wrong

    GIF is capped at 256 colours and compresses poorly, which is why GIF files are so often larger than they have any right to be. WebP has no colour limit and compresses far better, frequently producing a file a fraction of the size.

    It also supports proper alpha transparency, where GIF only has a single fully-transparent colour — the reason GIF logos show jagged edges on coloured backgrounds.

    Animation is not carried over

    This tool produces a still image from the first frame. WebP can technically store animation, but converting animated GIFs frame by frame is a different job from what this converter does.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are my files uploaded to a server?

    No. The conversion runs inside your browser using your device's own processor. Your files are never transmitted anywhere, which is why the tool works even if you disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

    Does the animation survive?

    No. You get the first frame as a still image.

    Is there a file limit or a paywall?

    There is no account, no watermark, and no upload cap. Because your device does the work, the only practical limit is your available memory. The site is funded by ads, not subscriptions.
