What is a WebP file?
WebP is an image format Google introduced in 2010. It stores the same picture in a smaller file than JPG or PNG, which is why so many websites use it. It is also why images you save from the web often end up as .webp files.

Good to know
- Nobody sees your images
- Your images are converted in your browser and are never sent to us or anyone else. We only count how many conversions are made, nothing more.
- Animation is kept
- Animated WebP becomes an animated GIF with the same frame timing. PNG and JPG use the first frame.
- Batches up to 200
- Up to 200 files per batch, 30 MB each. Download individually or as one ZIP.
- Gone when you close the tab
- Nothing is saved. Switching format or language keeps your files. Closing the tab or pressing Clear removes them.
Questions
How do I convert WebP to GIF?
Add one or more WebP files, choose GIF, and select Convert. The result is generated in your browser and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.
Can an animated WebP be converted to an animated GIF?
Yes. Animated WebP files are converted to animated GIFs and their frame timing is preserved. Static WebP files become a single-frame GIF.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Image data stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Why can GIF look different from WebP?
GIF supports a maximum of 256 colors and simpler transparency. Some color reduction is unavoidable when converting full-color WebP images.
About WebP files
Why won’t my WebP file open?
Every modern browser opens WebP, but some older apps, photo editors, upload forms and messaging apps still do not. Converting the file to JPG, PNG or GIF makes it work almost everywhere.
WebP to JPG or WebP to PNG?
Pick JPG for photos, since it gives the smallest files. Pick PNG for logos, screenshots and images with a transparent background, because it is lossless and keeps transparency. For an animated WebP, pick GIF.
Animated WebP to GIF
Many apps cannot play animated WebP. As a GIF, the animation keeps its original frame timing and plays on Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, forums and in presentations.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Byewebp runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux. There is nothing to install and no account to create.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no limit on how many files you convert, and you can process up to 200 at a time.
