QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert TGS to WEBP?
Yes - TGS converts to WEBP.

A .tgs file is a gzip-compressed Lottie vector animation. Tools such as ezgif and utils.tg render the animation and re-encode the frames as animated WebP. The result preserves the transparent background and is sharper and smaller than an equivalent GIF.

Why convert TGS to WEBP?

Quality & what to watch

  • TGS is a vector animation; the conversion rasterizes it at a fixed pixel size (typically 512x512 to match Telegram's canvas).
  • Animated WebP preserves the alpha channel, so the sticker's transparent background carries over - unlike GIF, which only supports 1-bit transparency.
  • WebP uses lossy or lossless compression and is not limited to 256 colours per frame, producing sharper results than GIF from the same source.
