Transform your GIF files into WEBP format instantly within your browser.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 as a platform-independent format for sharing color graphics over slow, modem-speed connections. It uses lossless LZW compression on indexed images limited to a palette of 256 colors, and its defining feature is native support for simple looping animation, storing several frames with their own timing directly inside one file. GIF also supports single-color binary transparency. Even though modern formats like WebP and AVIF now offer full-color animation with much better compression, GIF's near-universal support in browsers, chat apps, and social platforms keeps it firmly embedded in everyday web culture.
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google and released in 2010, built on the intra-frame coding of the VP8 video codec. It supports both lossy and lossless compression in the same container, along with alpha transparency and simple animation, covering roughly the combined use cases of JPG, PNG, and GIF in a single format. In practice, WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than a comparable JPEG or PNG at similar visual quality, which is why it has become a common recommendation for speeding up websites and improving Core Web Vitals scores.
