Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller really?

Typically 8–12×: a 5MB reaction GIF becomes ~500KB WebP. GIF is a 1989 format with 256 colors; WebP/WebM use modern video compression on the same animation.

WebP or WebM — which output?

WebP for image contexts (img tags, chats, CMS uploads); WebM for video contexts (video tags, editing pipelines). Both keep transparency; WebM edges ahead on long clips.

Will it play in my chat app?

Discord, Slack, and Telegram render WebP animated stickers natively. iMessage and older email clients may not — keep the GIF original when sharing to unknown apps.

Does quality suffer?

At matched visual quality, no — the size saving comes from better compression, not visible degradation. Crank the quality slider until file size stops dropping, then stop.

Exact encoder settings?

WebP uses libwebp_anim at your 0–100 quality slider (default 80) with loop count 0–1000 (0 = infinite); WebM uses libvpx-vp9 at CRF 30. Scaling is Lanczos at original dimensions; frame rate offers Auto, 10, 15, 24, or 30 fps.

Are my GIFs uploaded?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Files never leave your device.
