WEBP is a modern, efficient still-image format, and it is a good home for a single frame pulled from a GIF — smaller than PNG and ready for the web. This converter uses the first frame only. This free gif to webp converter works in seconds, one file at a time. Your file never leaves your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server, so your image stays private on desktop and mobile.
