What this tool helps you do

Animated WebP can be a practical option for short looping visuals on compatible websites and apps. It can support a broader range of colors and often produces smaller files than GIF at comparable visual quality. Compatibility should still be checked wherever the animation will appear.

Steps for a reliable result

Choose a concise source clip, convert it with the Video to WebP tool, and preview the result in a modern browser. Compare its size and appearance with a GIF version if the destination has strict requirements.

Things worth checking

Use a static WebP image when motion is not necessary. Test the animation on mobile and desktop, and provide a fallback if your publishing system or audience includes software that does not support animated WebP.
