GIF to WEBP questions

How do I convert GIF to WEBP?

Add one or more GIF files, review the WEBP output settings, select Convert to WEBP, then download each result or the complete ZIP.

Is this GIF to WEBP converter private?

Yes. Files are decoded and encoded in your browser. They are not uploaded to our servers or stored by ConvertPics.

Can I batch convert GIF to WEBP?

Yes. The converter accepts up to 100 files in one batch and processes them sequentially. Finished files can be downloaded individually or together as a ZIP.

Will the WEBP output keep metadata?

No. The browser renders decoded pixels onto a fresh canvas, so EXIF, GPS, camera, profile, and comment metadata is not copied to the converted file.

Can I resize the image during conversion?

Yes. Enter a width, a height, or both. Keep ratio is enabled by default so the image fits within your requested dimensions without stretching.
