This free WebP to GIF converter turns your .webp images into .gif files. WebP is what most image pipelines now output. Browsers handle it everywhere, but plenty of desktop software, print workflows and older systems still do not.
Because browsers cannot write GIF, this one runs on our server: the file is converted in memory and sent straight back. It is never written to disk, never logged and never stored.

What changes when you convert WebP to GIF
GIF is lossless, but it cannot restore what WebP already discarded. The output will be larger than the input and no sharper — you are preserving the current state, not recovering the original.
GIF is limited to 256 colours, so photographic images come out visibly banded. It is the right target for flat graphics and the wrong one for photographs.
WebP and GIF compared
| WebP | GIF | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | WebP | Graphics Interchange Format |
| Extension | .webp | .gif |
| MIME type | image/webp | image/gif |
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
WebP: Google's web format: roughly 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG at comparable quality, with transparency and animation. Supported by every current browser.
GIF: Limited to 256 colours with single-bit transparency, which makes it poor for photographs and fine for flat graphics. Still the most widely supported animation format.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert WebP to GIF?
Drop your .webp file onto the box on this page and the .gif file is ready to download in a second or two. There is no signup, no email, no watermark and no file limit beyond about 4 MB per upload — larger images are re-encoded smaller in your browser first, and the page says so when that happens.
Is this WebP to GIF converter free?
Yes, completely, with no account, no trial and no watermark on the output. We are a consultancy and these tools exist because we needed them ourselves; there is nothing to buy on this page.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
This one has to run on our server, because browsers cannot write GIF. The file is converted in memory and returned immediately — it is never written to disk, never logged and never stored. If that is not acceptable for your file, use a desktop tool instead.
Will converting to GIF reduce the quality?
GIF is lossless, but it cannot restore what WebP already discarded. The output will be larger than the input and no sharper — you are preserving the current state, not recovering the original.
Can I convert several WebP files at once?
Yes, up to 20 files in one go. Drop them all onto the box together and each one appears in the results list with its own download button.
