GIF to WEBP Converter

Why convert GIF to WEBP?

Animated GIFs are simple to share but they are heavy and use older compression. WEBP is a modern image format designed by Google that supports animation, better compression, and higher visual quality at smaller file sizes.

Converting GIF animations to WEBP with GhostConvert helps you:

• Reduce file sizes for faster page loads and lighter chats.
• Keep animations looking crisp on modern screens.
• Use a format that is widely supported in current browsers and apps.

If you run a website or web app, switching looping animations from GIF to WEBP is one of the easiest ways to speed things up without redesigning anything.

How GIF → WEBP conversion works here

1. Upload or drag your animated GIF into the box above.
2. GhostConvert reads all frames and timing information from the GIF.
3. The frames are encoded into an animated WEBP image using a modern encoder.
4. You get a download link to the WEBP file ready to use on your site or in your app.

The converter keeps your loop, frame order, and basic timing intact so the animation looks the same, just in a smaller and more efficient format.

Where WEBP animations work best

• UI micro-animations, loaders, and status indicators.
• Marketing banners and hero animations on landing pages.
• Chat stickers or reaction animations in modern web apps.

Frequently asked questions

Will my animation still loop?

Yes. If your GIF is set to loop, the converted WEBP will also be an animated, looping image that can play repeatedly in compatible browsers.

Is WEBP supported everywhere?

WEBP is supported in all major modern browsers and many apps. For older environments that do not support WEBP, you may want to keep a fallback GIF or PNG as a backup.

How long are my files stored?

Files are stored only as long as needed to run the conversion and serve your download. They are removed automatically as part of routine cleanup, as explained in the Privacy Policy.
