WebP to GIF Converter

Yes! This converter fully supports animated WebP files. It extracts each frame from the animated WebP and reconstructs them as a GIF animation, preserving the original timing and frame sequence. The tool automatically detects whether your WebP is static or animated and processes it accordingly.

GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, while WebP supports millions of colors. When converting from WebP to GIF, the tool uses color quantization and dithering to approximate the original colors as closely as possible. For photographic images, you may notice some banding or color loss. For graphics and illustrations with fewer colors, the conversion is usually seamless.

You can reduce GIF size by: (1) lowering the color count from 256 to 128 or fewer, (2) reducing the image dimensions, (3) decreasing the frame rate for animations, or (4) enabling lossy compression. This tool provides quality controls to help you balance file size against visual quality.

This tool processes images entirely in your browser, so the limit depends on your device's available memory. Most devices can handle files up to 50MB comfortably. For very large animated WebP files with many frames, you may need to use a device with more RAM. There's no server-side limit since no files are uploaded.

Yes, the converter preserves the original frame timing from your animated WebP. Each frame's delay is extracted and applied to the corresponding GIF frame. However, GIF frame delays are measured in centiseconds (1/100th of a second), so very precise timing may be rounded slightly.

WebP uses modern compression algorithms (based on VP8 video codec) that are significantly more efficient than GIF's LZW compression from 1987. A WebP file is typically 50-80% smaller than an equivalent GIF. This is why WebP was created - to replace GIF and PNG with a more efficient format.

Yes! The converter is fully responsive and works on iOS Safari, Chrome for Android, and other mobile browsers. All processing happens locally on your device, so you can convert WebP to GIF without uploading anything or using mobile data. Touch-friendly controls make it easy to use on phones and tablets.

Simply drag and drop your WebP sticker file onto the upload area, and the tool will convert it to GIF format. Most messaging apps that don't support WebP stickers will accept GIF. For best results with stickers, keep the color count at 256 to preserve transparency edges and fine details.

Currently, this tool converts one file at a time for optimal quality control. For batch conversion, you can process multiple files sequentially - each conversion takes just a few seconds. If you need to convert many files regularly, consider using a command-line tool like ImageMagick or ffmpeg.
