Why convert GIF to WebP?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) — Historic format limited to 256 colors, famous for its animations. Largely superseded by WebP and MP4 for animation, and PNG for static images.
WebP (WebP (Google)) — Modern format from Google, roughly 25–35% lighter than JPG for equivalent quality. Supports transparency, animation, and both lossy and lossless modes.
Converting GIF to WebP typically reduces file size while preserving a visual quality close to the original. This conversion significantly cuts file size — ideal for the web.
