Converting GIF to WebP: what to know
GIF is converted to WebP to make an animation on a website smaller and faster to load: WebP stores millions of colors instead of 256 and usually compresses animation better than GIF.
The whole animation is carried over, every frame and its duration, and transparency is kept. For sending to people GIF is sometimes still better: even older programs and messengers understand it.
GIF or WebP: which to choose?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
GIF is the classic format for short animations, limited to 256 colours.
Best for short looping animations, stickers and simple graphics.
WebP
WebP is a modern Google format for the web: it supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.
Best for images on websites: one format replaces JPG, PNG and GIF and makes pages load faster.
What happens when converting GIF to WebP
Animation is preserved: all frames and their timing are transferred to WebP.
WebP uses lossy compression. The default quality is 75 out of 100: lower values make the file smaller, higher values keep more detail.
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
GIF files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
