FAQ
Quick answers
What's the difference between GIF and WebP for animated emojis?+
GIF is widely supported but has limited colors (256) and larger file sizes. WebP offers better compression, more colors, and transparency support, but isn't supported everywhere. Discord supports WebP, while Slack and Twitch prefer GIF.
Which format should I use?+
Use GIF for maximum compatibility (Slack, Twitch, most platforms). Use WebP for Discord or when you need smaller file sizes and better quality. Our tool exports both formats.
Does WebP support animation?+
Yes! WebP supports animated images with better compression than GIF. However, not all platforms support animated WebP yet—Discord does, but Slack and Twitch prefer GIF.
How do I choose the best format?+
For Discord: WebP is recommended (smaller files, better quality). For Slack/Twitch: Use GIF for compatibility. For general use: GIF works everywhere.
