Convert GIF to WEBP
A GIF asset is bloating a page and WEBP is the drop-in that browsers already support everywhere.

What actually changes
GIF and WEBP are not the same picture in two wrappers.
WEBP escapes GIF's 256-colour ceiling and its 1980s LZW coding, so the same picture is stored with full colour in a fraction of the bytes. Alpha becomes a real 8-bit channel rather than a single transparent palette index.
Worth knowing first
Our on-device path converts a single frame. WEBP does support animation, but the browser canvas route reads one frame from a GIF, so animated sources come out as stills here.
Questions
GIF to WEBP, answered
How much smaller is WEBP than GIF?
For a still image, commonly 60 to 80 percent smaller, because GIF's LZW compression is very weak by modern standards.
Do I lose the dithering pattern?
No. The dithering is part of the pixels now, and WEBP stores what it is given. It just stores it more efficiently.
