GIF to WEBP converter

The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an 8-bit image file format that is widely used to display animation and graphics. It supports up to 256 colors and is often used to display small web graphics for logos or simple animations. It can be used both for static images and for animated images, and generally compresses images better than other image formats.

The GIF format supports data compression, but does not support animation or sound. It is also limited in its ability to provide better image quality than other image formats such as JPEG. However, GIFs are more suitable for use on the web because of their small size and relatively fast loading times.

WEBP is a file type developed by Google that is designed to offer graphics and images with a higher compression rate than what is available with other formats, such as JPG or PNG. WEBP files are typically smaller in size than other popular image file types, which makes them ideal for use on webpages where file size is important for reducing page load time.

WEBP files support both lossy and lossless compression. The lossy option reduces file size with minor decreases in image quality, while lossless preserves the image quality without sacrificing storage space. WEBP can also include animations and incorporate transparency levels depending on the properties of the file.
