Files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser, nothing touches a server — tools you've used even work offline.
Convert animated GIFs to WebP entirely in your browser — every frame is re-encoded on your device, and the animation survives. GIF is a 1989 format doing a 2020s job; animated WebP does the same job in typically half to a third of the bytes. Batch-convert and download everything as a ZIP.
How it works
- Drop files anywhere on the page, click to browse, or paste with ⌘V.
- Pick a quality or preset — or set an exact target size and let the tool find it.
- Compress, compare before/after, and download — individually or as a ZIP.
The animation really is kept
Each frame is decoded, re-encoded and muxed into an animated WebP with the original frame timing — nothing is flattened to a still. On the rare browser without modern decoding support the tool falls back to the first frame and says so with a warning rather than failing silently. To stay in GIF instead, Compress GIF shrinks the file without changing format.
Where the savings come from
GIF is capped at 256 colors per frame and compresses with 1980s LZW; WebP brings full-color frames and video-style compression. Photographic loops and smooth gradients gain the most — 50–70% smaller is typical, sometimes far more. For silent clips where a video file is acceptable, GIF to MP4 beats both formats by another wide margin.
Frequently asked questions
Does the animation survive?
Yes — all frames and their timing carry into the animated WebP. Only on very old browsers without the needed decoders does the tool fall back to the first frame, and it warns you when that happens.
How much smaller will my GIFs get?
Typically 50–70%. Photographic and gradient-heavy loops shrink the most; tiny pixel-art GIFs with few colors have the least to give.
Where does animated WebP play?
Every current browser and most chat and social apps display it. If a destination strictly demands GIF, keep the original and compress it on the GIF tab instead.
Are my GIFs uploaded?
No — the pixels never leave your machine. Decoding and re-encoding both happen in your browser; there is no upload to wait for and no server-side copy to worry about afterwards. Want proof? Run one file through, switch your connection off, and run another — it still works.
