Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API and the gif.js encoder loaded from a CDN. Your WebP file never leaves your device.

Why does the GIF look different from the original WebP?

GIF supports a maximum of 256 colors, so photos with gradients will have their palette reduced, causing visible color banding or dithering. Flat-color graphics such as logos convert with minimal quality loss.

Does this tool support animated WebP files?

Only the first frame of an animated WebP is converted to a static GIF. Full animated WebP to animated GIF conversion requires server-side processing.

How does the width control work?

Enter a target pixel width and the tool calculates the height automatically to preserve the original aspect ratio. Leave the field blank or use the original width to keep full dimensions.

Does GIF support transparency?

GIF supports only 1-bit transparency. Semi-transparent pixels in the WebP input will be composited onto a white background before conversion.

Is there a file size limit?

The limit is your browser's available memory. Very large images may be slow to encode on low-end devices. Images under 4000 x 4000 pixels work reliably in all modern browsers.

Which browsers are supported?

All modern browsers — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari 14+. WebP decoding via Canvas and Blob downloads are universally supported in these versions.
