Convert WebP to GIF
Drop your WebP, get a GIF. The file is processed in memory, returned with its SHA-256 fingerprint, then forgotten — nothing is kept on our servers.

curl -X POST https://api.convertchester.com/v1/convert \
-F "file=@document.webp" \
-F "to=gif"Files processed on-the-fly in RAM and discarded instantly.
Format verified from header bytes, never trusted from extensions.
Cryptographic hash provided for complete file auditability.
Exact same multipart response from browser or your backend.
Both formats
WebP .webp
Modern web image, lighter at comparable quality. ConvertChester reads it but does not write it: no pure-Java encoder produces it.
GIF .gif
Image limited to 256 colours, capable of animation — useful for a short sequence, unsuited to photography.
What this conversion changes
Going from WebP to GIF is not neutral. What the service can tell you before you drop anything:
- GIF is limited to 256 colours: a gradient or a photograph loses its shades.
The same conversion, in one line
The browser and your backend call the same endpoint, and get the same response.

Is converting WebP to GIF free?
Yes, in the browser and without an account. The API has a free quota; a refusal is never counted.
Are my files kept?
No. The file is processed in memory then forgotten. Logs carry only its SHA-256 fingerprint and its size — never its name or its content.
What happens if my file is not really a WebP?
The format is read from the file’s bytes, never from its extension. An unrecognised file gets an explained refusal with a stable code — and that refusal is not billed.
