What is a GIF file?
GIF is a 1987-era image format that survives thanks to one feature: simple animations that loop everywhere without a video player. It's limited to 256 colors per frame, so it's inefficient for photos and longer clips.
What is a WebP file?
WebP is Google's modern image format for the web. It compresses images 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at the same visual quality, and supports both transparency and animation in a single format.
Why convert GIF to WebP?
GIF files are huge for what they show and capped at 256 colors, so anything photographic or longer than a few seconds is better served by another format. WebP makes images noticeably smaller at the same quality, which means faster pages and better Core Web Vitals.
