GIF → WebP (still)

POST /api/gif-to-webp-still

Convert a GIF to a still WebP image. Extracts the first frame of the GIF and re-encodes it as a single-frame WebP via libwebp. Use GIF → animated WebP if you need to preserve the animation.

Takes a GIF and returns its first frame as a still WebP. Preserves transparency. If you want the full animation, use `gif-to-webp` (animated) instead — same encoder, but it packs every frame into a single animated WebP container.
