Some animated images can exist as WebP files on the Internet. Today, you’ll learn how to convert them to GIF, the most popular format of animations.
WebP is an image format developed by Google as an alternative to JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
In most cases, the extension allows saving 25-35% of your local storage compared to GIF. WebP animations are significantly smaller — therefore many website owners prefer them on landings rather than GIFs. Reduced image size contributes to a faster loading of a web page.
However, there are some drawbacks of the WebP extension. Because it was initially created for online use, it may be tricky to open and view them offline, especially if you’re using an older Windows version.
Not sure your PC supports opening WebP? With free AVS Image Converter you’ll easily convert WebP to GIF on Windows.
AVS Image Converter can compress, resize and convert images to key formats, including GIF.
Step 1. Run the app and upload your WebP animation.
Step 2. Choose To Gif and click Convert Now!

Another convenient way to get an animation of the popular format or simply change the image extension is one of the free online services. The process is pretty much similar on each website — upload a WebP file, wait until the conversion is complete, and download the output GIF file.
These are just the most common examples of relevant online services.
This website allows uploading WebP images of up to 50 MB from your computer or via URL.
Here, you can add an input picture from various sources — local storage, URL, Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. Besides, the output image parameters can be customized.
Select files up to 100MB from computer storage, Dropbox, or Google Drive, and download them in a new format.
Although online conversion is an easy and fast way to change the WebP format to GIF, uploading personal images to any of these services isn’t recommended.
