Frequently asked questions
- Why use WebP instead of GIF?
- Animated WebP files are typically 50-80% smaller than GIFs at the same visual quality, and they support millions of colors instead of 256. Most modern browsers support animated WebP natively. Conversion runs locally on your server.
- Can I control the output file size?
- Yes, you can adjust the quality setting, frame rate, and dimensions to control the final file size. Lower frame rates and quality produce smaller files. All processing happens privately on your own infrastructure.
- What browsers support animated WebP?
- All modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge support animated WebP. For older browser support, consider converting to GIF or MP4 instead. SnapOtter processes everything locally on your server.
