Frequently asked questions
Does this create animated WebP?
No. Only the first GIF frame is exported. Animated WebP requires a dedicated encoder pipeline.
Is WebP better than GIF for websites?

Can I batch convert many GIFs?
Yes. Drop multiple files and download a ZIP of WebP outputs when converting more than one GIF.
