Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I convert WebP to GIF?
WebP is the better format in almost every technical respect. The main reason to convert to GIF is compatibility — some older software, email clients, and platforms don't support WebP but accept GIF.
Will the GIF be larger than the WebP?
Usually yes, especially for photographic content. WebP's compression is significantly more efficient than GIF for complex images.
What happens to WebP transparency?
Semi-transparent pixels are composited onto a white background before conversion, since GIF only supports binary (fully on/off) transparency.
Are my files private?
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
