Does converting GIF to WebP keep transparency?

Yes. WebP supports transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

What happens to an animated GIF converted to WebP?

Only the first frame is converted, so the WebP is a still image.

WebP is lossy, and we save at 92% quality, which looks the same as the original to the eye.

Yes. Drop as many GIF files as you like. They convert in parallel on your device and you can download them all as one ZIP.

How it works

Step 1
Drop your GIF files
Add one image or a whole batch, up to 50 MB each.
Step 2
Wait a moment
WebP is already selected, so your images convert as soon as you add them.
Step 3
Download
Save each WebP on its own, or all of them as one ZIP.
