GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) supports simple graphics and short animations with a 256-color palette. Convert static GIFs to PNG or WebP for smaller files, or export to JPG for photographic content.
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression. It supports transparency and animation, and typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG or PNG at equivalent quality.
GIF is a raster format limited to 256 colors per frame with optional animation support. It remains popular for short looping animations, simple icons, and memes, though static GIFs are often larger than PNG or WebP equivalents.
GIF was introduced by CompuServe in 1987. It became the early web standard for simple graphics and short animations before newer formats like PNG and WebP gained adoption.
WebP is a modern raster image format that supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency (alpha channel), and animation. It uses predictive coding based on VP8 video compression technology and typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG or PNG at equivalent quality.
WebP was announced by Google in 2010 and released as an open format in 2018. It was developed to replace JPEG, PNG, and GIF on the web with a single format offering superior compression for both lossy and lossless images.
Animated WebP usually produces smaller files than GIF with better color depth, but GIF still has broader support in messaging apps.
