GIF files are almost as old as the internet itself. But despite their age, they are currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Small animations or scenes can be easily displayed using GIF files. However, in recent years, the GIF format has faced competition in the form of the WEBP file format. Similar to GIF, this file format supports animated images and videos.

When converting GIF to WEBP, the file size can usually be reduced significantly – with the same quality and high compatibility.
