Do all browsers support animated WebP?

Yes — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari all play animated WebP. Very old browsers may not.

Is transparency kept?

Yes. WebP preserves the alpha channel, with smoother edges than GIF's single transparent colour.

Animated WebP

WebP supports full animation like GIF but with far better compression and true alpha transparency. Files are typically much smaller at the same visual quality.

Why switch from GIF?

Animated WebP is supported by every modern browser and loads faster because of its smaller size, making it a strong replacement for animated GIFs on the web.

Transparency preserved

Unlike GIF's single transparent colour, WebP keeps smooth alpha edges, so animations composite cleanly over any background.
