Questions

Why convert a GIF to WebP?

An animated WebP is usually smaller than the same GIF, and every current browser plays it. Websites load faster, and chat apps that accept WebP stickers take it directly.

Are my GIFs uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your device. We never upload them.

Which quality should I pick?

Exact colours (lossless) keeps every pixel and suits cartoons, logos, and screen recordings. High suits GIFs made from video, and is usually smaller. Smaller file saves the most but may soften fine edges.

What is APNG?

An animated PNG. Every current browser plays it, and apps that don't show its first frame as a normal PNG. It is lossless, and for GIFs often larger than WebP, so pick it when a site needs PNG.

Does the animation keep its timing?

Yes. Frames keep their delays and the GIF's loop setting. Each frame stores only the area that changed, and frames that don't change at all are merged into the one before.

Why is my WebP bigger than the GIF?

That can happen with very simple GIFs, a few flat colours, which GIF already stores well. Try High instead of Exact colours, or keep the GIF.
