Convert GIF to WebP Online — A Modern Still From an Old GIF
A looping GIF can be a megabyte of nostalgia. If you only need a still on a webpage, WebP is usually the smaller modern file. This page does that one hop locally.

When GIF → WebP is the right job
You are retiring a GIF embed and want a lighter still on the page.
A component library prefers WebP and you only have .gif sources.
How the conversion runs on this page
Upload, convert, rename to match your asset pipeline.
This is a still converter, not a GIF→animated-WebP movie encoder.
Quality, limits, and honesty
Expect a single frame. Keep the original GIF if motion still matters.
Quality slider trades size for banding on already-paletted GIF art.
Privacy
Your GIF file is decoded in this tab. We do not upload it to convert it to WebP.
If a related job is next — compress a PDF, flatten another image, or switch pairs — use the links on this page so the file stays on your device the whole way.
100% On-Device Privacy & Security Guarantee
Unlike traditional online tools that upload your files to external cloud servers, wikawe processes all files locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your documents never leave your device, preventing leaks and protecting sensitive records.
