Tool usage guide
Convert your animated GIF files into the modern WebP format to achieve significantly smaller file sizes while maintaining high visual quality and broad browser compatibility.
Background
A landing page features a 15MB animated GIF that causes significant layout shift and slow loading times.
Problem
The file size is too large for optimal web performance.
How to use
Upload the GIF, set the quality to 75, and select the 'Size' compression method.
quality: 75, method: 'size'Outcome
The file size is reduced to under 2MB, significantly improving the page's Core Web Vitals score.
Background
The design team uses transparent GIFs for loading spinners, but they appear pixelated and heavy on mobile devices.
Problem
Need to maintain transparency while improving visual clarity and reducing file weight.
How to use
Upload the transparent GIF and keep the background setting as 'Transparent'.
backgroundColor: 'transparent'Outcome
WebP offers superior compression algorithms compared to GIF, resulting in much smaller file sizes without sacrificing animation quality.
Yes, WebP supports full alpha channel transparency, and our tool allows you to either keep it or replace it with a solid background color.
Yes, the conversion process preserves the original looping behavior and frame timing of your source GIF.
The 'Speed' method prioritizes fast encoding, while the 'Size' method uses more intensive algorithms to achieve the smallest possible file output.
You can upload GIF files up to 50MB in size for conversion.
The resulting WebP file maintains crisp edges and transparency while being 60% smaller than the original GIF.
