Questions
- Are my GIF files uploaded?
- No. File contents are processed in your browser on your device, rather than uploaded to ReFormatic.
- Will converting GIF to WEBP reduce quality?
- WEBP supports both lossy and lossless encoding. The default photo setting may use lossy compression; choose a lossless option when available if you need to avoid further compression loss.
- Can I convert many files at once?
- You can add up to 500 files to a batch, set a common format or adjust files individually, then download multiple results as a ZIP. Large batches may be limited by your device’s available memory.
