Batch Convert WebP to GIF Online — Preserve Animations

Yes. Our converter detects if your WebP is animated and preserves every frame — timing, loops, and transparency. Your animated WebPs convert to fully animated GIFs that play identically in any browser or app that supports GIF.

• Animated WebPs → Animated GIF (all frames preserved with original timing)
• Static WebPs → Static GIF (single frame)

GIF has universal support. While WebP is more efficient, some platforms don't accept it:

• Older email clients: Outlook, Yahoo Mail, and many email clients don't render WebP
• Legacy CMS systems: Older WordPress, Drupal, or custom CMS may not support WebP
• Certain social networks: Some platforms prefer or require GIF for animations
• Older browsers: IE11 and older Safari versions don't support WebP

When you need guaranteed playback compatibility, GIF is the safe choice.

We support animations up to 1,000 frames per file. The maximum duration depends on your animation's frame rate:

• 10 fps: Up to 1 minute 40 seconds
• 15 fps: Up to 1 minute 7 seconds
• 24 fps: Up to 42 seconds
• 30 fps: Up to 33 seconds

This covers most animated content including screen recordings, reaction GIFs, and short clips.

Usually yes. This is the trade-off for universal compatibility:

• GIF: Uses LZW compression from 1987
• WebP: Uses modern VP8/VP9 compression

Typical size increase:

• A 500 KB WebP might become a 1-3 MB GIF
• Animated files see the largest size increase
• Simple graphics with flat colors compress better

If file size is critical, keep the WebP where supported and use GIF only for legacy platforms.

GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. Our converter uses high-quality dithering to produce the best possible result:

• Flat-color graphics: Convert almost perfectly
• Gradients: Dithering simulates smooth transitions
• Photos: May show visible banding (consider keeping WebP for photos)

For the best GIF quality, source images with simpler color palettes work best.

Yes. Static WebPs convert to static GIFs. However, for static images:

• PNG is usually better for graphics, logos, and screenshots (lossless, full color)
• JPEG is usually better for photos (smaller files, millions of colors)

GIF makes most sense when you need animation support or are targeting legacy systems that specifically require GIF.

WebP supports full alpha transparency (256 levels). GIF only supports binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque).

• Fully transparent pixels: Preserved exactly
• Fully opaque pixels: Preserved exactly
• Semi-transparent pixels: Converted to either fully transparent or fully opaque

Soft edges, shadows, and anti-aliased edges may appear slightly harder in the output GIF. This is a fundamental limitation of the GIF format.

Yes. We preserve animation behavior from your source WebP:

• Loop behavior: Infinite-looping WebPs become infinite-looping GIFs
• Frame timing: Frame delays are preserved
• Frame order: All frames converted in original sequence

Your animated GIF will behave like the original WebP.

Yes—GIF has universal email support. This is one of the main reasons to convert WebP to GIF:

• Animated GIFs work in: Gmail, Outlook (desktop & web), Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, and nearly all email clients
• WebP in email: Very limited support—most clients won't display it

For email newsletters with animations, GIF remains the only reliable choice.
