WebP to GIF Converter

Convert WebP images, including animated WebP, to GIF for apps, chat tools and older software that cannot play WebP.

Make animated and still WebP files play everywhere

Animated WebP files are common on modern websites, but many messaging apps, older editors and some social platforms only accept animated GIFs. This converter keeps every frame and its timing.

Still WebP images become single-frame GIFs. Because GIF uses a 256-colour palette, photographic WebP content can show banding; simple graphics and stickers usually convert cleanly.

Transparency: Fully transparent pixels remain transparent. Semi-transparent WebP edges become fully opaque or fully transparent because GIF has no alpha channel.
