    Questions

    Will the GIF look the same?

    Very close. WebP has millions of colours and GIF 256, so the best 256 for the animation are chosen and dithering smooths gradients. Semi-transparent edges become fully transparent or opaque: GIF can’t store in-between transparency.

    Why is the GIF larger than the WebP?

    GIF compression is decades older and much less efficient. Keep the WebP where you can, since every current browser plays it, and use the GIF where WebP isn’t accepted.

    Why does a GIF have only 256 colours?

    GIF stores each frame with a palette of at most 256 colours. When a new GIF is written, the best 256 colours for the whole animation are chosen; dithering mixes neighbouring colours to smooth out gradients.

    Are my images uploaded anywhere?

    No. Your images are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
