How to Convert WebP to GIF

  1. 1

    Upload the WebP

    A still picture, sticker or animation saved from a website or app, up to 50 MB (up to 10 files at once).

  2. 2

    Frames are rebuilt as GIF

    Each frame is reduced to at most 256 colors and written with its own display time, in the same order.

  3. 3

    Share the GIF

    Post it where WebP is not accepted, such as older forums and software.

Why turn a WebP into a GIF

Websites and messaging apps increasingly save pictures, stickers and short animations as WebP because the files are small. Some older software and forum boards still expect GIF for anything that moves, so a WebP animation has to become a GIF before you can post it there.

Animations come through whole

Every frame is converted, in order, with the time each one is shown, and it keeps looping like the original (or plays once if the original does). In our test a 24-frame sticker with 80 ms frames came out as a 24-frame GIF with 80 ms frames that loops forever, like the WebP. Animations are limited to 50 million pixels across all frames, for example 24 frames at 1920 × 1080 or about 385 frames at 480 × 270; a larger one gets a message, so trim or shrink it first.

Transparency is on or off

A WebP can be partly see-through; a GIF pixel is either fully clear or fully solid. Pixels that are at least half opaque are kept, blended with white, and the rest become clear. Clear backgrounds therefore stay clear, but soft shadows and smooth edges turn into a solid, slightly light outline, which shows most on dark backgrounds.

Colors and file size

GIF allows 256 colors per frame and the colors are not dithered, so photos and gradients can show visible bands. GIF also compresses far less than WebP, so expect a larger file:
