Convert WEBP to GIF

The WebP file extension stands for "Web Picture", a modern image format developed by Google. It aims to reduce file size without compromising quality, making it ideal for web use. Introduced in 2010, WebP supports both lossless and lossy compression, which enhances web performance and speeds up page loading times. This efficiency makes it a preferred choice for web developers and IT specialists focused on optimizing website performance.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
