About the WebP to GIF
The Img Stop WebP to GIF Converter turns animated or still WebP images into GIF files. GIF is older but works almost everywhere – in email, chat apps, forums and editors that refuse WebP – so converting is the easiest way to share an animated WebP you saved from the web.
For animated WebP files, each frame and its delay is read and written into the GIF. Reading animated WebP frames needs Chrome, Edge or Opera; in other browsers only the first frame can be read, and the tool says so. Everything happens in your browser with no upload.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert WebP to GIF?
Add the WebP file to the Img Stop WebP to GIF Converter, click Convert and download the GIF. It is free and works in your browser.
Does it keep the animation?
Yes, in Chrome, Edge and Opera all frames and their timing are kept. Other browsers can read only the first frame, so you get a still GIF and a notice.
Why is my GIF bigger than the WebP?
GIF uses older compression and only 256 colours, so it is usually larger. Use the GIF Compressor to shrink it.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The WebP is decoded and the GIF is built on your device.
