About WebP
WebP is an image format released by Google in 2010. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.
Websites use it to serve images smaller than the equivalent JPEG or PNG; all current browsers display it.
Some older desktop software and many print services still do not accept WebP files.
Convert WebP to GIF online free, no account required — GIF is a single-frame GIF image limited to 256 colours.
Change WebP to GIF without losing quality — convert WebP to GIF free in your browser.
Why won't the program I've used for years open my WebP images? The format only spread after 2020, so older software and some desktop apps still lack support — converting to JPG or PNG keeps them usable everywhere.
About GIF
A still GIF is a GIF image with a single frame: up to 256 colours from a palette, with optional transparency for one colour.
Simple graphics, small icons and images for very old software.
The 256-colour palette makes photos look banded or dithered.
Why save an image as a still GIF? For very old systems and tiny embedded displays that only draw GIFs; everywhere else PNG is the better choice.
What changes when you convert WebP to GIF
- The WebP picture is re-encoded as GIF at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
- If the WebP is animated, only its first frame is converted to GIF.
