Gif to Webp
Hi. I'm working with website advertising banners. I have the ability to save in Photoshop as webp. My question is: Is it possible to save a gif as webp and retain the animation?
Many thanks for any advice.

WebP animation is supported by these browsers:
- Google Chrome (desktop and Android) 32+,
- Microsoft Edge 18+,
- Firefox 65+,
- Opera 19+
Advantages of animated WebP compared to animated GIF
1. WebP supports 24-bit RGB color with an 8-bit alpha channel, compared to GIF's 8-bit color and 1-bit alpha.
2. WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression; in fact, a single animation can combine lossy and lossless frames. GIF only supports lossless compression. WebP's lossy compression techniques are well-suited to animated images created from real-world videos, an increasingly popular source of animated images.
3. WebP requires fewer bytes than GIF1. Animated GIFs converted to lossy WebPs are 64% smaller, while lossless WebPs are 19% smaller. This is especially important on mobile networks.
Where can I generate WebP animations?
