GIF to WebP Converter
Turn a GIF into a WebP right in your browser — no upload, no waiting. Get a small still image that still keeps transparency, ready in seconds.
Everything runs in your browser — your image is never uploaded, sent to a server, or stored. Nothing leaves your device.
How it works
Choose your GIF and the tool re-encodes its first frame as a WebP using a quality slider (default 90%). Higher quality keeps more detail but makes a bigger file; lower quality shrinks the file further but looks rougher. The picture's width and height stay exactly the same — only the format changes. Your download keeps the original file name, just with a .webp ending.
When to use it
Use this when you want a small, modern-format still image pulled from a GIF, with transparency kept intact. Just know that this converts only the first frame — the output is always a still image, never an animated one, even though WebP itself can do animation.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting a GIF to WebP keep the animation?
No. This tool only grabs the first frame of the GIF and converts that one still image. Even though WebP can support animation elsewhere, the output here is a still WebP, not a moving one.
Will the output still have transparency?
Yes, if the first frame had any. WebP supports transparency, so any see-through areas from the GIF's first frame carry over.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole conversion happens in your browser using a canvas element. Your file never leaves your device.
