Question 1

Does it keep the animation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every frame is converted with its original timing, and the WebP loops forever like the GIF.

Question 2

How much smaller is WebP than GIF?

Accepted Answer

Usually 50–80% smaller at the default quality. WebP uses modern compression and full color, while GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. Lower the quality slider for an even smaller file.

Question 3

Is transparency preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transparent areas of the GIF stay transparent in the WebP.

Question 4

Where can I use animated WebP?

Accepted Answer

All modern browsers, WordPress, Discord, Telegram and WhatsApp stickers support animated WebP. Some email clients and older apps don't, so keep the GIF for those.

Question 5

Which browsers can convert?

Accepted Answer

Chrome, Edge, Firefox and other browsers that can save WebP images. Safari can display WebP but can't create it, so use another browser for the conversion.

Question 6

Is my GIF uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. Decoding and WebP encoding run on your device, so the file never leaves your browser.
