WebP to GIF Converter

Convert your WebP images to GIF format instantly. Free, secure, and runs entirely in your browser.

WEBPGIF

Efficiency vs. Compatibility. You Need Both.

WebP is the modern standard. Google built it for speed. It saves bandwidth. But GIF is the king of context. Social media demands it. Discord requires it. Legacy systems only understand it.

You face a classic problem. Your file is efficient (WebP), but your platform is old-school. You need to convert WebP to GIF. Reliability matters. Speed matters. Privacy matters most.

Lightning Fast

Zero processing queues. Your CPU does the work instantly.

100% Secure

No uploads. No servers. Your photos never leave this device.

Batch Processing

Convert fifty files or just one. Drag, drop, done.

The Risk of Online Converters

Most tools ask you to upload. You send your personal files to a stranger's server. They process it. You wait. This is slow. This is risky.

Toolbly is different. We barely touch your data. We deliver the code to your browser, and your browser runs it. Offline. Secure. Private.

Technical Trade-offs

Color Depth

WebP: Supports millions of colors (24-bit). Photos look perfect.

GIF: Locked to 256 colors (8-bit). Expect some "banding" or grain in complex photos. This is the retro charm of GIF.

Transparency

WebP: Proper alpha channel. Shadows and see-through effects work.

GIF: Binary transparency. A pixel is visible or invisible. No fading. Edges may look jagged.

Note on File Size

WebP is efficient. GIF is not. A 500KB WebP animation might become a 5MB GIF. This is normal. To manage file size, reduce the dimensions or frame rate of your output.

Real World Use Cases

  • Discord StickersGIF is the safe bet for custom stickers and emojis where compatibility is key.
  • Email SignaturesOutlook creates friction with WebP. GIF signatures work everywhere, every time.
  • Legacy CMSOld WordPress installations or enterprise sites often reject modern formats. GIF always loads.
  • PresentationsPowerPoint and Keynote prefer likely GIF over WebP for embedded animations.

Troubleshooting

Animation is Static?

If your output isn't moving, check the source file. Also, Windows Photos app sometimes freezes GIFs. Open the file in Chrome to verify.

Colors Look Wrong?

GIF has a limited palette. If a photo looks washed out, it's the format's limit. GIF thrives with graphics and logos, not high-res photography.
