The animation is kept

The tool uses your browser's built-in image decoder to unpack every WebP frame along with its timing, then encodes an animated GIF with a shared palette. Looping and transparency carry over. Animated PNG (APNG) works the same way.

Chrome, Edge and recent Firefox can unpack animated WebP into frames. If your browser can only read it as a still, the tool tells you and makes a single-frame GIF; in that case open the page in Chrome.

What to expect on quality

WebP can hold millions of colors, GIF at most 256 per frame, so smooth gradients may show slight dithering. On drawn animations and memes you'll hardly notice. The GIF is usually larger than the WebP too; if you have a limit, Compress GIF hits a target size.

The GIF is processed in your browser, never uploaded, and gets no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Is the animation kept?

Yes. In Chrome, Edge and recent Firefox every frame and its timing carry over.

Does a transparent WebP stay transparent?

Yes, though GIF only knows fully transparent or fully opaque pixels, not semi-transparent ones.

Why is the GIF bigger?

GIF uses old, less efficient compression; that's the format, not the tool.
