HEIC, animated WebP input, PNG sequences and frame sequence export require Pro.

Animated WebP is smaller and sharper than a GIF, but plenty of places still don't accept it — some chat apps, email clients, forums and older tools only understand GIF. When you've got a looping WebP that simply won't play where you need it, converting it to a GIF gets it working everywhere.

Drop your animated WebP in and LightBox decodes every frame on our server and rebuilds it as a GIF, keeping the loop and the timing intact. You can tune the frame rate and resize it, and a colour palette is built specifically for your clip so it looks as clean as GIF allows.

Your files are processed privately and deleted about an hour later — never kept, shared, or watermarked. Animated-WebP conversion is a Pro feature: a one-time upgrade unlocks it along with bigger uploads, batch and a permanent library.

Why convert with LightBox

Plays where WebP can't

A GIF drops into chat apps, email, forums and older tools that never added WebP support. Convert your animated WebP and the loop finally plays everywhere it needs to.

Keeps the loop and timing

Every frame and the timing between them are preserved, so the GIF loops exactly like the original WebP. A palette tuned to your clip keeps the colour as clean as the format allows.

No watermark, auto-deleted

Your file is converted on our server and deleted about an hour later — never watermarked, never shared. Tune the frame rate and size to keep the GIF as small as possible.

Free forever. Pro when you need more.

Convert common formats free. Lifetime Pro adds more capacity and permanent hosting, with no subscription.

Frequently asked questions

GIF is bigger than WebP, but it plays everywhere — including apps, email clients and older tools that don't support animated WebP. If your looping WebP won't display somewhere, a GIF is the universal fallback.

Yes. Every frame of the animated WebP is decoded and rebuilt into the GIF, with the loop and per-frame timing preserved, so it plays exactly like the original.

Usually, yes — GIF is an older, less efficient format limited to 256 colours. That's the trade for universal support. If a smaller file matters more than compatibility, convert to MP4 instead, which is smaller and sharper.

Animated-WebP conversion is a Pro feature, because decoding animated WebP needs a heavier tool than our free formats. A one-time Pro upgrade unlocks it plus HEIC conversion, bigger uploads, batch, and a permanent library.
