GIF/WebP Converter

Convert animated GIF files to WebP and vice versa, preserving all frames and animation timing. WebP animations are typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent GIFs.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/gif-webp

Accepts multipart form data with a GIF or WebP file and a JSON settings field.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
quality	integer	No	80	Output quality for WebP encoding (1-100)
lossless	boolean	No	false	Use lossless WebP compression
resizePercent	integer	No	100	Scale the output by percentage (10-100)

Example Request

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/gif-webp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "[email protected]" \
  -F 'settings={"quality": 85, "resizePercent": 50}'

}

Notes

• Only .gif and .webp files are accepted. Other image formats are not supported by this tool.
• The conversion direction is automatic: GIF input produces WebP output, and WebP input produces GIF output.
• The quality and lossless options only apply when encoding to WebP. When converting to GIF, the output uses the standard GIF palette.
• Use resizePercent to reduce the dimensions (and file size) of large animations.
