About GIF to WEBP conversion
GIF is released by CompuServe in 1987 and is the universal support but limited by its age for short animations, simple graphics. WEBP was created by Google in 2010 and is best for web performance, modern browsers. Converting GIF to WEBP gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where WEBP is required. GIF files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to WEBP solves compatibility issues.
