About GIF to WebP

GIF to WebP is a quick win for anyone with animations on a website. A GIF of a few seconds can weigh several megabytes and slow a page down. WebP stores the same animation with modern compression, and every current browser plays it. Still images can move to WebP as well, with the converters in Image Converter.

Each frame keeps its original timing and transparency, and the WebP loops continuously. Two settings decide the result. Quality, 90 by default, controls lossy compression, which suits clips made from video or photos. Lossless keeps every pixel and often wins on flat-color art such as stickers, icons and screen recordings, where lossy WebP can even come out bigger than the GIF. If one mode disappoints, convert again with the other.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Timing kept

    Every frame keeps its own display time, so the animation plays at the speed it always did.

  • Transparency supported

    See-through areas in the GIF stay see-through in the WebP.

  • Lossy or lossless

    Pick lossy for clips and photos or lossless for flat graphics, depending on which gives the smaller file.

  • Still GIFs too

    A single-frame GIF becomes a still WebP image.

FAQ

GIF to WebP: questions and answers

How much smaller is WebP than GIF?
It depends on the content. Animations made from video or photos usually shrink noticeably. Simple flat-color GIFs are already compact; for those, turn on Lossless, since lossy WebP can come out larger.
Does GIF to WebP keep the animation speed?
Yes. Each frame keeps the display time it had in the GIF, and the WebP loops continuously.
Where can I use an animated WebP?
In Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, and on web pages through a normal img tag. Some email clients and older apps don't play it; for those, stick with the GIF. A WebP you've already made can be turned back into a GIF with WebP to GIF.
Is this GIF to WebP converter free, and how big can a GIF be?
Yes, within the daily limits. You get 2 tasks in total without an account and 2 a day with a free one, for files up to 50 MB. VIP has no task limit and takes files up to 1 GB.
What happens to the GIF after I convert it?
It's deleted automatically after one hour, together with the WebP. Uploads are encrypted, each job runs in its own isolated process, and your files are never used to train AI.
