WEBP to GIF — Convert in Your Browser

Why convert WEBP to GIF?

Sometimes the old format is the compatible one. Email clients, forum posts, older chat apps and plenty of legacy CMS installs animate GIFs and nothing else, so an animated WebP has to step back a generation to be seen.

WebP is Google's modern web image format. It does lossy and lossless compression, supports transparency and animation, and is typically 25–35% smaller than the equivalent PNG or JPG.

When WEBP → GIF is the right move

Embedding an animation in a newsletter or email signature.
Posting a loop to a forum or CMS that only accepts GIF.
Sharing an animation with software that predates WebP support.

Quality, size and what changes

The animation and timing survive, but GIF's 256-colour palette means gradients and photographic frames pick up visible banding, and the file typically grows several times over. Shorter loops and flat colours convert best.

What you gain with GIF: Auto-playing, looping animation that works in email, chat apps and ancient software alike.

How it works

Drop your WEBP file above and Morphio decodes it locally, then re-encodes it as GIF using WebAssembly + the browser's native codecs. Nothing is ever uploaded — your files stay on your device. Batch as many files as your machine can handle. See exactly how in-browser conversion works.

WEBP to GIF — frequently asked questions

How do I convert WEBP to GIF without uploading the file?

Open the WEBP to GIF page, drop your image on the drop zone and press convert. Morphio runs an in-browser image pipeline built on Canvas and WebAssembly codecs, so the WEBP data never leaves your device and no server ever receives a copy.

Does converting WEBP to GIF lose quality?

Colour profile and pixel dimensions are preserved; you choose the quality level before the file is written. Converting WEBP to GIF only rewrites the container and encoding you asked for — the source file on your disk is never modified.

Is the WEBP to GIF converter free, and how big can the file be?

Yes. The free plan covers 10 conversions a day with files up to 200 MB and adds no watermark or sign-up. Morphio Pro ($5/month, or $29 once for lifetime access) removes the daily cap and raises the per-file limit to 5 GB.

Why does my GIF look worse?

GIF supports only 256 colours per frame, so smooth gradients get dithered. That limitation is in the format, not the conversion.

Why is the GIF so much bigger?

GIF's compression is from 1987 and cannot exploit similarity between frames the way WebP does.
