Why convert video to GIF in your browser?
Every classic online video-to-GIF converter uploads your clip to a server, queues it, and stamps a watermark on the free tier. This one runs FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly inside your browser tab: conversion starts instantly, nothing is uploaded, and the output is clean — no watermark, no signup, no limits.
GIF output quality and size are a trade-off you control. Fewer colors (64-128) and fewer frames (10-15fps) can shrink a GIF by 50-80%, which matters for Discord's 8 MB cap or GitHub README etiquette. The timeline lets you trim the exact segment first, so you never encode frames you don't need.
The same pipeline covers every common input: MP4 to GIF, WebM to GIF, MOV to GIF, screen recordings to GIF. Need the reverse (GIF to MP4/WebM)? The main converter handles that too — with typical savings of 60-90%.
Every format, every use case
MP4 to GIF
The most common conversion — drop the file, tune colors and frame rate, download. MP4 to GIF →
WebM & MOV to GIF
Both decode locally; the workflow and optimizer are identical.
GIF for Discord
Discord caps free uploads at 8-10 MB — 128 colors + 15fps + a trim usually gets you under it. Compress for Discord →
GIF for documentation & READMEs
Developers embed short loops in GitHub READMEs; keep them small or reviewers will notice.
