WebP to GIF Converter
Why Convert WebP to GIF?
WebP is a modern image format that offers excellent compression, but GIF remains the universal choice for simple animations and broad compatibility across older apps and devices. If you need to embed a small, looping animation in a presentation, email signature, or a legacy website, converting your WebP to GIF guarantees it will display everywhere.

This converter runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device, ensuring total privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support animated WebP?
This version handles static WebP images. Animated WebP support may be added in the future. Meanwhile, you can still convert the first frame.
Is the output a true GIF?
Yes. The tool encodes a standard GIF89a file with LZW compression, which can be opened in any image viewer or browser.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
For now the tool works one image at a time. This keeps the interface simple and fast.
Why does my GIF look slightly different?
GIF is limited to a 256-color palette. The converter picks the most important colors, but very complex photos may show a minimal difference.
