GIF to Animated WebP or APNG

Convert an animated GIF into a modern animated format and see the real byte count before you commit. Animated WebP is normally the right answer; APNG is here for the cases that need lossless frames or very old Safari.

Or drag your GIF here

Animated GIF only, up to 20 MB. A still GIF converts fine but the result is a single frame, not an animation.

Source GIF

Converted

The converted file, animating in place. If it is still, your browser cannot decode this format.

Cloudinary URL

HTML with GIF fallback

A picture element lets browsers that decode the modern format take it and everything else fall back to the original GIF, so no visitor loses the animation.
