Why animated WebP?
For years the only easy way to put a short looping clip on a web page was an animated GIF. GIFs are capped at 256 colors, dither badly on gradients, and balloon in size the moment there's any real motion — a few seconds of footage can run into several megabytes. Animated WebP solves all three problems at once: full 24-bit color, real alpha transparency, and both lossy and lossless compression. The same clip that's 4 MB as a GIF often lands under 400 KB as a WebP with no visible quality loss.
It's also supported everywhere that matters. Every current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge renders animated WebP natively — no fallback scripts, no plugins. That makes it a safe default for product demos, email hero images, hover animations, and any place you'd reach for a GIF today but care about load time.
2WebP exists because the conversion step shouldn't require uploading your footage to someone else's server or installing FFmpeg from a terminal. Everything here runs client-side in your browser through FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Drop in a clip, trim it, pick a preset tuned for your use case, and download — your file never leaves your device. If you want to understand the trade-offs first, the WebP vs GIF guide walks through the benchmarks.

Frequently asked questions
- Is 2WebP really free, and are there limits?
- Yes. Converting video to animated WebP is free with no account, no watermark, and no per-file limit. Because everything runs in your browser, there is no upload quota — the only ceiling is your own device’s memory on very large clips. Pro is a one-time €9 unlock that adds a target-size optimizer, enforced platform presets, AI suggestions, and removes ads.
- Do my videos get uploaded to a server?
- No. All processing happens locally through FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your file is read, trimmed, and encoded entirely inside the browser tab, and nothing is sent to or stored on any server. This is why it works offline once the page has loaded and why it’s safe for confidential footage.
- What video formats can I convert?
- MP4, WebM, and MOV are the common inputs, and you can also re-encode an existing animated GIF into a smaller WebP. The output is always a single looping .webp file that plays natively in modern browsers without a video tag or player.
- Why is animated WebP better than GIF?
- GIF is capped at 256 colors and has no real compression for motion, so a few seconds of footage can run to several megabytes. Animated WebP supports full 24-bit color, alpha transparency, and both lossy and lossless compression — the same clip is often under 400 KB versus 4 MB as a GIF, with no visible quality loss.
- Which browsers support animated WebP?
- Every current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge renders animated WebP natively, including on iOS and Android. No fallback scripts or plugins are required, which makes it a safe default anywhere you would otherwise use a GIF.
- What settings should I use?
- Start with 8–12 FPS and 70–80% quality for UI motion, and cap the width to the size you’ll actually display. Higher FPS suits fast action; lower quality shrinks busy footage further. The built-in presets set sensible starting points for email, Webflow, Shopify, and more, and the guides walk through the trade-offs in depth.
