Turning an animated GIF into WebP keeps every frame while typically halving the file size, because WebP compresses animation far better. The move also breaks GIF's 256-color ceiling and adds real alpha transparency, so gradients stop banding.

Why convert GIF to WEBP?
- Serve reaction GIFs, stickers, and UI animations on the web at a fraction of the bandwidth — a direct page-speed win.
- Restore smooth gradients that GIF's 256-color palette turned into visible bands.
- Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, Discord, and Telegram all display WebP, so the old compatibility excuse is gone.
Tip: A handful of email clients and dated image viewers still can't decode WebP — keep the GIF around as a fallback for those channels.
