WebP to GIF for animated and still files

This WebP to GIF converter turns a .webp file into a .gif file inside your browser. It reads every frame of an animated WebP together with its frame duration, so the motion and timing carry over to the GIF. A still WebP becomes a one-frame GIF.

Use it when an app, forum or chat refuses WebP but accepts GIF, or when a site saved your image as WebP and you need the older format. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert.

You do not install anything and you do not create an account. Open the page, pick the file, and the conversion starts on your own device.

How to convert WebP to GIF in three steps

  1. 1

    Pick your WebP

    Click the file picker or drop a .webp file on the preview area. Animated and still files both work, and the picker accepts one WebP at a time.

  2. 2

    Choose a width and loop

    Keep Original, or pick 320, 480, 640 or 800 pixels to get a smaller file. Leave Loop on if the GIF should repeat.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Press Convert to GIF. The result plays in the page with its size, frame count and length, then you download the .gif file.

Before you convert WebP to GIF

  • Check the file ends in .webp; a renamed JPG or PNG is better left as it is.
  • Pick a smaller width first for long animations: a 150-frame WebP gave a much lighter GIF at 320 px than at Original.
  • Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox 133 or newer to convert animated WebP files with every frame.
  • On older Safari expect the first frame only, and a note on the page tells you when that happened.
  • Remember a GIF holds at most 256 colors per frame, so gradients and photos can look banded.
  • Compare the downloaded GIF with the WebP before you send it on.

What happens to your WebP file

Your file is never uploaded

The WebP to GIF conversion runs on your device in the browser. The file is not sent to our server, so there is no upload wait and nothing to delete afterwards.

Expect a bigger file

GIF compresses less efficiently than WebP. In our test in Chrome on macOS, a 22 KB WebP of 30 frames became a 49 KB GIF in 0.2 seconds, and a 6.4 MB WebP of 150 frames became 22.4 MB at Original width (6.2 MB at 320 px).

One limit on older Safari

A browser that cannot decode animated WebP gives you only the first frame as a still GIF. The tool shows a note when that happens, so you are not left guessing.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. WebP can hold many frames with their own durations, like GIF. This tool converts those frames into an animated GIF in Chrome, Edge and Firefox 133 or newer.

Yes. Drop the file in, choose a width if you like, and download the GIF. This WebP to GIF page has no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert.

No. The file is processed by your browser on your device and is never sent to our server.

Your browser probably cannot decode animated WebP, which includes older Safari versions. It then converts only the first frame, and the page shows a note. Open the file in Chrome, Edge or Firefox 133 or newer to get every frame.

Many sites and browsers serve images as WebP because the files are usually smaller. Your download then arrives as .webp. Convert it here when you need a GIF.

For file size, usually yes: WebP files tend to be smaller and are not held to 256 colors. GIF wins on compatibility, since almost every app, chat and forum accepts it. That is why people convert WebP to GIF before they share.

Often, yes. Choose a smaller width, such as 320 or 480 pixels, to bring the size down. Our 150-frame test file dropped from 22.4 MB at Original width to 6.2 MB at 320 px.

The tool reads each frame's duration from the WebP and uses it for the GIF. Check the result against the original before you share it.

Yes. A still WebP becomes a GIF with one frame, which is a regular still image in GIF format.

Both can be animated. WebP is a newer format by Google with smaller files, while GIF is older, limited to 256 colors per frame, and accepted almost everywhere. Use the WebP to GIF converter when the place you are posting does not take WebP.
