Frequently asked questions

How much does WebP save over GIF?

Usually more than half, often much more. WebP allows lossy frames and inter-frame prediction, neither of which GIF has.

Do browsers support animated WebP?

All current ones do, including Safari since version 14. It is the safest single-file animated format for the web today.

Is the frame timing preserved?

Yes, per-frame delays carry over, so the animation plays at the same pace. Frame count is unchanged too.

When should I still use GIF?

When the destination will not take anything else. Email clients and some older forum software still only render GIF for inline animation.
