Why convert GIF to WebP?
Animated GIFs are enormous. WebP plays in every modern browser at a fraction of the size. Note: this v1 converts the first frame of animated GIFs; single-frame GIFs convert fully.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert GIF to WebP online?+
With EditItAll, your files are never uploaded: decoding and encoding run inside your browser using WebAssembly (the browser's built-in decoder to decode, Squoosh-grade codecs (MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif, libjxl, OxiPNG) to encode). The images stay on your device from start to finish, and the whole thing works offline once the page has loaded.
Will converting GIF to WebP lose quality?+
WebP supports both lossy and lossless modes. At the default settings EditItAll uses visually transparent quality; push the slider to 100 for lossless where supported.
Is there a file size or count limit?+
No hard limits and no accounts — processing uses your own device's memory and CPU, so very large images are only constrained by your browser (multi-hundred-megapixel images may fail on low-memory devices). Batch as many files as you like; they are processed in sequence.
Can I convert WebP back to GIF?+
Yes — use the WebP to GIF converter, or just change the output format dropdown after dropping files.
