Why convert a GIF to animated WebP?
Animated WebP is a modern image format that supports animation, full 24-bit color and smooth (8-bit) transparency. For the same animation it is usually much smaller than a GIF, which makes pages load faster and helps page-speed scores. Use it for websites and web apps; keep GIF for chat apps and email, where GIF support is universal.
