How do I change or convert webp to gif for free?
Converting WebP to GIF on Windows 11 can really streamline your workflow and enhance compatibility for sharing purposes. Whether it’s for fun memes, animations, or just a way to ensure your images play nicely with various apps, it’s definitely a useful step. Stick with trusted tools. Converting WEBP to GIF shouldn’t be a hassle, especially with the options available.
G1MP: This is my go-to for all things image-related. G1MP can open WEBP files and export them as GIFs. Just open the file, go to File > Export As, and choose GIF as the format. You can also adjust the animation options if your WEBP is animated.
EZG1F: This online tool is perfect for converting WEBP to GIF. Just upload your file, and it’ll take care of the conversion. They even have additional tools to edit and optimize GIFs after conversion, which I found super helpful!
Paint 3D (Microsoft Built-in Tool): While Paint 3D doesn’t convert WEBP directly to GIF, you can use it to open WEBP files. From there, you can save images as JPG and then use another tool to convert the JPGs to GIF—kinda a workaround, but handy if you want to stick to Microsoft products.
Online-Convert: Similar to EZG1F, this site lets you upload WEBP files and convert them to GIF. They have options to tweak settings, which is great for getting what you want in the output.
ImageMaglck: If you like the command line, ImageMaglck is a fantastic option. You can convert with a line like:
- CopyReplit
- convert input.webp output.gif
- It’s powerful and fast if you have a lot of images to convert.
