Gif to Webp

[Robert26481470erst]

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.

Not at this point as far as I'm aware. You will have to use otehr tools like the EzGIF online converter.

.webp is a still format, it won't do the animation

Untrue.  WebP supports animation and a whole lot more.

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?

WebP is also supported in Safari 14 and later
