FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. ImageConverter runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device — you can verify this in your browser's network tab.
Is GIF to WebP conversion free?
Yes. ImageConverter is free with no signup, no watermarks, and no file limits beyond your device's memory.
Is animated WebP smaller than GIF?
Usually yes — animated WebP is typically 30–70% smaller than the same GIF at comparable quality, because WebP is not limited to a 256-colour palette.
Can I convert multiple GIF files at once?
Yes. Add multiple files and convert them in one batch. Each converted WebP file can be downloaded individually.
Which browsers are supported?
ImageConverter works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. WebP output requires a modern browser with WebP encoding support.
