WebP to GIF Converter
Convert still or animated WebP to GIF locally, up to 30 files per batch. Each input produces a separate result. Animated files require browser ImageDecoder support; unsupported animation stops with an error instead of silently exporting its first frame.
- Runs in your browser — files never upload
- Fast, no queue
- Free, no sign-up
- No added watermark
Animated WebP requires browser ImageDecoder support; otherwise conversion stops. Still WebP can use ordinary decoding. Each file becomes a separate GIF; colors and soft transparency can change and file size may grow.
How it works
How to convert WebP to GIF
- 11
Add WebP files
Drop one or many .webp files (animated or still), or paste them. They stay on your device. Start with one representative file to check the result before converting a larger batch.
- 22
Pick an output width
Keep the original size, or shrink large WebPs to 320, 480 or 640 px wide.
- 33
Convert and download
Each supported file becomes a separate GIF; frame delays are rounded to GIF precision. Download them one by one or all at once.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why convert WebP to GIF at all?
Convert when your specific destination requires GIF. A GIF may be larger and have fewer colors or harder transparent edges than the source. Support depends on the destination and upload entry point; conversion is not a guarantee of playback or approval.
Will the GIF be larger than the WebP?
It can be larger. GIF has a limited palette and different encoding, so the change depends on the source. If that is too big, choose a smaller output width here or use the GIF Compressor afterwards.
Are all frames and the animation speed kept?
Animated WebP requires a browser with ImageDecoder support for WebP. Without it, this tool rejects animated files; still files can use ordinary image decoding. Encoded delays are rounded to 10 ms with a 20 ms minimum. Check that an animated input produces multiple frames before using the download. A still WebP becomes a still GIF, so conversion alone cannot add motion. If the animation is unsupported in your browser, use a browser with animated-image decoding support rather than mistaking a single frame for a successful animation conversion.
What happens with transparent WebP images?
Transparency is kept, but GIF only supports fully transparent or fully opaque pixels, so soft semi-transparent edges become hard edges. Preview logos, shadows and anti-aliased outlines against the background where the GIF will appear. A conversion can preserve the subject while still changing the appearance of an edge; keep the WebP original if you may need a different export later.
How many files can I convert at once?
Up to 30 per batch. Files are converted one after another so your browser stays responsive, and you can download each result as soon as it finishes. Each source produces a separate GIF; batch conversion does not combine files into a single animation. Large dimensions and long animations need more memory, so split a demanding batch into smaller groups if your device struggles.
Is my WebP uploaded?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser; your files never leave your device.
Is it free?
Yes — free, unlimited, no sign-up and no added watermark.
