GIF to WebP
Convert a GIF to WebP. WebP has room for animation and this encoder writes a single still frame, the first one, at a default quality of 80.
Runs on your device. The file is never uploaded.
GIF to WebP writes one still frame, which is not what most people come to this page for. WebP holds animation and nothing here writes it: the encoder is handed a single frame and encodes a single frame. What comes back is a smaller file with the loop gone.
Questions
Does GIF to WebP upload my files?
No. GIF to WebP runs inside this browser tab, in a Web Worker on your own machine, and no part of your file is sent anywhere. There is no upload step to skip — the tool cannot reach a server even if it wanted to, and the counter on the homepage shows the number of outbound requests the page has made: zero.
How many files can I use at once?
Drop as many as you like. Each file is handled separately and comes back as its own result, so twenty files in means twenty results out.
What can I change about the result?
One setting: quality (Quality 1-100). Defaults are filled in, so it runs without changing anything.
Is GIF to WebP free, and do I need an account?
It is free and there is no account, no sign-in and no quota. Nothing is metered because nothing runs on a server — the only limit is your own device's memory, which is what decides how large a file it can handle.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The whole site is stored in your browser after the first visit, so GIF to WebP keeps working with the network off. Tools that use a machine-learning model download that model once, on first use, and run offline afterwards.
Can I use GIF to WebP outside the browser?
Yes. Every tool here is the same code on three surfaces: this page, a CLI command, and an MCP tool an AI agent can call. `gif-to-webp` is the name it goes by on all three.
