Drop animated .gif files. Single-frame GIFs export as still WebP; multi-frame GIFs export as animated WebP preserving timing and loop count.
Each GIF frame encodes as a WebP frame. Timing (delay between frames) and loop count carry through. GIF's 256-color limit expands to full-color WebP.
Output plays identically to the source GIF in all modern browsers. Typical size reduction: 50–70% compared to the original GIF.
