Both files stay local.
No upload, no cloud.
What it actually does
01
DECODE
Animated WebP parsed frame-by-frame.
Frame timing, loop count, transparency — all extracted in your tab.
02
ENCODE
Each frame quantized to 256 colors and written as a GIF frame.
All animation preserved. Posterization is intentional — GIF is a 256-color format.
04
BATCH
Drop a folder of WebPs.
Each becomes a GIF with animation intact.
How it works
- Open morph.cool in any modern browser.
- Drop your .webp file onto the drop zone, or click to browse.
- Pick GIF as the output format.
- Download your converted .gif file. Done in seconds.

Why it lives in the tab
Animated WebP is what GIF would have been if it had been designed in 2010 instead of 1987 — better compression, true color, real alpha. But there's still a long tail of systems that only speak GIF: old messaging clients, legacy email, some CMS systems, retro aesthetics. Converting WebP back to GIF is the compatibility play. We do it locally so the file never leaves your device.
Frequently asked
Does the animation survive?
Yes — every frame, the original timing, and the loop count are preserved. GIF supports animation.
Will the GIF be larger than the WebP?
Almost always yes. GIF is from 1987. WebP's compression is ~30 years more advanced.
Why convert in this direction?
Some platforms — old messaging apps, certain CMS systems, legacy email clients — only accept GIF. WebP-to-GIF is the compatibility move.
Will it look posterized?
WebP can carry millions of colors per frame; GIF caps at 256. For photographic content with smooth gradients, expect visible banding.
Does transparency work?
GIF supports a single transparent color per frame; subtle alpha is lost but hard-edged transparency survives.
Static WebP too?
Yes. Static WebP becomes a single-frame GIF.
