What changes when you convert GIF to WEBP
- Both formats are lossy. Re-encoding adds a second generation of loss, so keep quality high (80+) unless size matters more than fidelity.
- Both formats keep transparency, so alpha survives the conversion.
- Both formats support animation; animated input stays animated where the target truly supports it.
- WEBP image encoding exposes a quality control; around 80 is the usual sweet spot.
- Decoded animation plays only in the browser's own image pipeline; our encode path writes the first frame.
