About GIF
GIF's palette limit and 1-bit transparency are relics of 1980s hardware. Modern browsers still render it, but every measurable property — size, colour depth, edge quality — is worse than the alternatives.
About WebP
WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression, a full alpha channel, and is supported by every current browser plus WordPress, Shopify, and most modern CMSes.
Why convert GIF to WebP?
Convert GIF → WebP for web delivery: smaller downloads, smoother alpha edges, and no compatibility downside on any browser released in the last five years.
