Check if a WebP is animated

Drop in a WebP file to read its RIFF chunks and WebP animation markers. The checker reports animation status, frame count, WebP canvas size, first-frame bounds, file size, alpha flag, RIFF size integrity, and common metadata flags without uploading your image.

Common questions

How does it detect animation?

+

Animated WebP files use a VP8X animation flag and ANMF frame chunks. The checker parses those markers directly from the file bytes.

Does it extract frames?

+

No. This lightweight checker only detects animation and reports basic properties.

Is my file uploaded?

+

No. The file stays in your browser and is inspected locally.
