WebPGIFWebP to GIF Converter
Animated WebP is what most sites now serve where a GIF used to be, and almost nowhere accepts one back. The trap is that a plain image converter will hand you the first frame and call it done. PhotoTray runs this through the video engine, so the animation actually survives.
Drop in your files — GIFs land in the folder you pick, with every frame and the timing preserved.
Why convert
Why convert WebP to GIF
GIF is the format that still works everywhere an animation needs to go — chat apps, forums, older platforms, email, presentation software. Animated WebP is smaller and better in every technical respect, and almost none of those places will take one. So the conversion runs backwards from what you would expect: to a worse format, for the sake of being accepted.
- An animation saved from a website that will not post anywhere.
- Getting a reaction clip into a chat app or forum that only takes GIF.
- Putting an animation into a presentation or a document.
- Converting a folder of saved animations in one pass.

Every frame and the frame timing are carried across, with the palette chosen to suit the content.
- 3
Get animated GIFs back
In the folder you chose, with the WebP originals untouched.
