Free online GIF to animated WEBP
Create a continuously looping animated WebP from a GIF.
Fileverses uses server-side FFmpeg to take a qualifying GIF’s first video stream and write a new animated WebP at the route’s fixed quality setting.

Supported files
GIF animation in. Animated WebP out.
GIFWEBP
The output is a newly encoded looping WebP animation, not a static image or a renamed GIF. Audio is not part of either conversion output.
How it works
Turn a GIF animation into animated WebP
Encode animated WebP
The sequential server queue maps the first GIF video stream and encodes it with the animated WebP profile.
Inspect the loop
Review the completed animation where browser support allows and download the separately named .webp file.
Animation processing facts
First stream in, fixed looping WebP out.
The profile uses libwebp_anim at quality 75 with infinite looping. Metadata and chapters are removed, and no animation-editing controls are offered.
Make animated WebPGIF input only
The route accepts non-empty .gif uploads up to 100 MB, subject to host FFmpeg being able to read the source.
Animated, not static, output
The profile writes animated WebP with libwebp_anim at quality 75 and loop count zero, meaning continuous looping.
No sound or source extras
Only the first video stream is mapped. Audio is excluded, and metadata, chapters, alternate streams, subtitles, and attachments are not retained.
No animation controls
There are no trim, crop, resize, frame-rate, palette, quality, or loop-behavior controls. File size and appearance are not guaranteed.
GIF to WebP FAQ
Animated WebP conversion explained
Does GIF to WebP keep the animation?+−
A successful conversion produces animated WebP from the first GIF video stream; it is not a static WebP export.
Will the animated WebP loop?+−
Yes. The fixed profile uses loop count zero, which denotes continuous looping.
What quality setting does it use?+−
The profile uses FFmpeg’s libwebp_anim encoder at quality setting 75. There is no control to change it.
Does the WebP include audio?+−
No. This route produces an image animation only and excludes audio.
Can I trim, resize, or change the frame rate?+−
No. The route has no trim, crop, resize, frame-rate, palette, quality, or loop controls.
Are GIF metadata or extra streams preserved?+−
No. Only the first video stream is used; source metadata, chapters, subtitles, attachments, and alternate streams are not retained.
Will the WebP be smaller than the GIF?+−
There is no size guarantee. It is a new encode, so size and visual output should be checked before publishing.
