Save the WEBP image.
The first frame of the GIF is decoded and encoded as WebP at quality 92. For typical GIF content — flat colours, sharp edges — WebP compresses well and preserves transparency, giving a file that is often smaller than the GIF and displays in every current browser.
WebP can be animated, but this converter writes a still image, so an animated GIF becomes its first frame only. That is the right result when you want a thumbnail or a poster image; it is the wrong tool for converting the animation itself.
For a lossless copy with transparency, GIF to PNG is the alternative; for maximum compatibility with older software, GIF to JPG.
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your file never leaves your device, so it's safe even for sensitive documents.
Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark, and no daily limits.
No. Only the first frame is written, as a still image.
WebP is usually smaller and still keeps transparency. PNG is the choice when you need the frame stored losslessly.
