Frequently Asked Questions

Does this convert animated GIFs?

This tool extracts the first visible frame of the GIF and converts it to a static WebP image. Full animated WebP conversion requires server-side processing beyond what browsers natively support.

What quality setting should I use?

Quality 80–90 is a good balance between file size and image quality for most images. Use 95–100 for lossless-like quality, or 60–75 for aggressive compression when file size matters most.

Why is WebP better than GIF for static images?

WebP supports full 24-bit color (GIF is limited to 256 colors), alpha transparency, and much better lossy and lossless compression. A WebP image is typically 25–50% smaller than an equivalent GIF.

Is WebP widely supported?

Yes. WebP is supported by all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari (since 14), Edge, and Opera. It is now the recommended format for web images by Google and web performance tooling.
