How do I change or convert webp to gif for free?

Converting WebP to GIF online definitely has its upsides, but there are some downsides too, especially if you're using a Windows computer. You gotta have a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi goes down or is super slow, it can be a total buzzkill. Waiting around for files to upload and download can feel like watching paint dry! 

You’re uploading your images to a website, and let’s be real—who knows what happens to your files afterward? If they’re sensitive or personal images, it's a bit sketchy. You might wanna think twice before throwing a family photo into a random converter online. Many of these converters have limits on how big the files can be. So, if you’re trying to convert a massive WebP, you might hit a wall. That could force you to chop your image down or find another tool, which is annoying.

Sometimes, you might find that the GIFs generated aren’t as good as you’d expect. They could look grainy or lose some quality in the process. Not ideal if you’re hoping to make something look sharp and professional. If you have a ton of images to convert, doing them one by one online can be a drag. It’s a real time suck, and you might end up wishing for a better solution.

Online tools can be basic and lack advanced options like custom resizing, frame rate adjustments, or filters that you might find in software. You might finish a convert and realize it’s not quite right, leaving you with more work to do.

If you're running Windows, you might want to consider using Microsoft Photos. You can import your WebP files into Photos and use the app to convert them to GIF. It's user-friendly and keeps everything on your own device, so you're in control of your images. Plus, the quality typically remains intact.
