your GIF is fat and it doesn't have to be
GIF is a genuinely old, inefficient format, that's just facts. WebP compresses way better, same animation, way smaller file. plus better color and transparency as a bonus. free converter, all browser-side.
converts your GIF into animated WebP using WebAssembly encoding. WebP compresses so much more efficiently than GIF, and you get millions of colors + smooth transparency instead of GIF's 256-color cap and hard on/off transparency. nothing uploaded, completely free.
once loaded, hit convert to WebP
frames get composited and encoded via WebAssembly, in your browser
your page loads faster — same animation, usually 50%+ smaller as WebP vs GIF. that's a real performance win.
dodges upload limits — hit a file size cap on some forum or community site? converting to WebP usually gets you under it, no visible quality loss.
colors look better too — millions of colors instead of 256, plus real partial transparency instead of GIF's all-or-nothing.
is it actually smaller? usually yes, depends on the content but 50%+ smaller is common.
where can I use it? every modern browser supports animated WebP natively, drop it in anywhere a GIF would go.
does timing stay the same? yep, original frame delays carry over exactly.
transparent GIFs work? yes, transparency converts over to WebP's alpha channel.
