Free WEBP to GIF converter

Why convert WEBP to GIF?

People convert WEBP to GIF because WebP saves real space on the web, but desktop software and older devices often cannot open it, while GIF plays a short animation anywhere — in any chat window, forum post or email.

How to convert WEBP to GIF

1. Choose your WEBP file. Drop it on the box above, or tap to browse. You can pick several files at once.
2. Confirm the target is .gif. It is preselected when your browser can encode it; otherwise the closest available target is chosen. Adjust quality, size or the other options if you want to.
3. Convert and download. Press Convert, then Download. Your file stays on your device the whole time.

What is a .webp file?

WebP is Google's web image format: roughly 30% smaller than JPG at the same visible quality, with support for transparency and animation. Every current browser displays it, but a great many desktop applications still cannot open one, which is why converting WebP to PNG or JPG is such a common need.

What is a .gif file?

GIF holds a short, silent, looping animation limited to 256 colours per frame. That colour limit makes it poor for photographs and fine for flat graphics, screen recordings and reaction clips, which still play inline almost everywhere.

What to expect from this conversion

The image is decoded and re-encoded, so keep the quality slider at 85% or above — at that setting the difference is invisible to the eye. Transparency is flattened onto white for formats that cannot store it, such as JPG. GIF holds only 256 colours per frame, so dithering is on by default to keep gradients smooth.

Is it private?

Yes, by design. Every conversion happens inside your own browser using your device’s processor — there is no server that receives your WEBP file, so there is nothing for anyone to store, scan or leak. You can confirm it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab while you convert, and you will see no upload.
