Video to WebP Animation

Turn a short video clip into an animated WebP — far smaller than a GIF.

To turn a video clip into an animated WebP, choose a start point and a length and the clip is re-encoded with ffmpeg running in your browser. Animated WebP is typically several times smaller than the same animation as a GIF, because GIF is limited to 256 colours and a 1987 compression scheme while WebP uses modern video coding. Every current browser displays it.

Frequently asked questions

Why WebP rather than GIF?

GIF caps at 256 colours per frame and compresses with an algorithm from the 1980s, so a few seconds of video becomes several megabytes and looks banded. Animated WebP keeps full colour and uses modern compression. The only reason to still choose GIF is a platform that will not accept anything else.

Is there sound?

No. WebP is an image format — it carries frames, not audio. If you need sound, the clip should stay a video.
