What this converter does

WEBP is practical for websites and CDNs. This converter publishes a still WEBP from a GIF — it does not transcode animated GIF to animated WEBP.

Use this when building pages that accept WEBP and you only need a still from a GIF.

How to convert GIF to WEBP

  1. Upload your GIF file. Drop a GIF into the upload area (max 200 MB each). Animated GIFs use the first frame.
  2. Set WEBP quality. This converter encodes lossy WEBP. The quality slider (default 90%) controls compression. Lower values usually mean a smaller file. It does not restore quality already lost in the source.
  3. Convert to WEBP. Press Convert to WEBP. Processing runs in your browser — the file is not uploaded to ImgTask's server.
  4. Download the result. Download the converted WEBP file when it is ready. Conversion stayed on your device.

Still WEBP, not animated WEBP

If you need to keep motion, keep the GIF or use a dedicated animation encoder. This page is for still-image delivery.

Formats, limits, and privacy

Upload limit: 200 MB per image, up to 20 files at once. Images above about 100 megapixels may fail in the browser. Conversion re-encodes pixels and strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC, and DPI metadata; orientation is applied visually first. Animated sources use the first frame.

Limitations: Animation is not preserved. Animated GIFs are converted from the first frame. Quality settings affect size and detail.

Privacy: Your image is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to ImgTask's server. Image files never leave your device. No account is needed and results carry no watermark.
