What this converter does

WEBP is efficient on the web, but some older apps still expect GIF. This converter recreates a still GIF version of your WEBP file. Animated WEBP is not preserved as an animated GIF.

Convert WEBP to GIF when a recipient or workflow cannot open WEBP and specifically needs GIF.

How to convert WEBP to GIF

  1. Upload your WEBP file. Drop one or more WEBP files into the upload area (max 200 MB each).
  2. GIF color limits apply. GIF is remapped to a 256-color palette. There is no JPEG-style quality slider. Photographs often look posterized. This creates a still GIF, not an animation.
  3. Convert to GIF. Press Convert to GIF. Processing runs in your browser — the file is not uploaded to ImgTask's server.
  4. Download the result. Download the converted GIF file when it is ready. Conversion stayed on your device.

WEBP to GIF for legacy apps

If you only need the image to open, WEBP to JPG is usually a better-looking choice than GIF.

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. GIF output is limited to 256 colors. Transparent pixels are flattened onto white.

Limitations: GIF is limited to 256 colors. Animated WEBP is not preserved as an animated GIF. Transparent pixels are flattened onto white.

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.
