GIF is commonly used for single-frame gifs, icons, and low-color graphics, while WebP is a better fit when you want efficient web delivery with support for both lossy and lossless compression. Animated GIFs may be flattened when the selected output does not support animation, so check the downloaded result.
Understand the size and quality tradeoff
WebP works in modern browsers, but some older desktop software and legacy workflows may still prefer JPG or PNG.
