WebP to GIF Converter

Runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

Convert WebP images to GIF — and unlike most converters, animated WebP files keep every frame at its original timing instead of collapsing into a single still. Useful for stickers and reaction clips saved from chat apps and social sites, where GIF is still the format everything accepts. The conversion runs entirely in your browser: your file is never uploaded, and no watermark is added.

How to convert WebP to GIF

  1. 1

    Drop your .webp file onto the box, or click to choose one.

  2. 2

    Optionally set a maximum width and palette size — both shrink the GIF.

  3. 3

    Click “Convert to GIF”. OkConverter decodes every frame and builds the GIF locally.

  4. 4

    Click “Download” to save the .gif file.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep the animation?+

Yes. Every frame is decoded with its own delay, so the GIF plays back at the same speed as the source and loops forever. This is the difference between this tool and the WebP to PNG or JPG converters, which intentionally give you a single frame.

Why is my GIF bigger than the WebP?+

GIF is a much older format: 256 colours per image and far weaker compression than WebP. A larger file is the unavoidable cost of the compatibility you get back. Lowering the width or the palette size is the fastest way to bring the size down.

What does the palette size do?+

GIF stores at most 256 colours. Reducing it to 128 or 64 makes a noticeably smaller file and is usually invisible on flat graphics, screenshots and line art — photos and gradients are where you will see banding first.

Is transparency preserved?+

Yes, but GIF only supports on/off transparency, not the smooth alpha WebP has. Fully transparent pixels stay transparent; semi-transparent edges become either solid or fully clear, which can look slightly jagged on soft shadows.

Animated WebP fails in my browser — why?+

Reading the individual frames of an animated WebP needs an API that Chrome, Edge, Opera and Safari 17+ have but Firefox does not. Still images convert everywhere; for animated files on Firefox, switch browser for this one tool.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. Decoding and GIF encoding both happen in your browser on your device. Your image is never uploaded, stored, or logged.
