WebP to GIF Converter
Convert WebP — small files, supported everywhere on the web — into GIF, the animated one. Runs entirely in your browser.
Why convert WebP to GIF?
The reason is almost always somewhere that still takes nothing else — an older forum, a chat client, a signature field, a piece of software that never learned anything newer. GIF is a poor format by every technical measure and universally supported by every one of them.
What changes when WebP becomes GIF
GIF is limited to 256 colours, so a photographic WebP will come out visibly posterised or dithered. Transparency becomes one bit: a pixel is either fully opaque or fully clear, and any soft edge the WebP had will turn jagged. Only the first frame of an animated WebP is converted, so what you get is a still GIF.
Why this one is different
Every other WebP to GIF converter uploads your files to their server, which is why they cap file sizes and ask you to sign up. This one does the work on your own machine, so it can afford not to.

Questions
How do I convert WebP to GIF?
Drop your WebP files onto the box above and each one is converted to GIF straight away. Then download the results, individually or together as a ZIP. There is no upload step and no account.
My animated WebP became a single frame.
Yes — the decoder here reads the first frame only. Converting an animation between formats is a different job from converting an image, and this tool does the latter.
Why does the GIF look grainy?
The 256-colour limit. Smooth gradients have to be approximated by scattering the available colours around, which reads as noise. There is no setting that fixes it; it is what the format is.
Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in this tab. Your files are never sent to a server, which is why this still works if you disconnect from the network after the page has loaded.
