🔁 Convert GIF to WebP
About these formats
About GIF. GIF is an old format limited to 256 colours per frame, best known for short animations. For static photos almost any modern format will look better and weigh less.
About WebP. WebP is a modern web format that supports both transparency and animation and is typically smaller than PNG or JPG at the same quality. It is supported in all current browsers, though some older desktop software still cannot open it.
Going from GIF (indexed raster) to WebP (lossy or lossless raster) usually produces a smaller file at the same visual quality, which helps pages load faster.
When to keep the original instead. There is no quality penalty to worry about here, but it is still wise to keep the original GIF as a master copy.
