Important Considerations

  • GIF only supports 256 colors, so photos may lose quality
  • Transparency in GIF is binary (fully transparent or fully opaque)
  • Best for simple graphics, logos, and icons rather than photographs
  • Static WebP images are converted; for animated WebP, consider specialized tools

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! All image processing happens locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server and remain completely private on your device.
GIF format supports only 256 colors, so photographs and complex images may show some quality loss. Simple graphics, logos, and icons typically convert well. You can enable dithering to improve appearance.
This converter handles static WebP images. For animated WebP files, only the first frame will be converted to GIF. Use specialized tools for animated image conversion.
GIF only supports binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque). Partial transparency from WebP images will be converted to either fully transparent or solid pixels. You can choose a background color for transparent areas.
Since processing happens in your browser, there's no server-imposed limit. However, very large images (over 20MB) may be slower to process depending on your device's capabilities.
