About the formats

WebM, the open web video

WebM is an open, patent-free video format made for the web; here it comes out with VP9 video and Opus audio.

Strengths: It compresses very well and plays directly in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and recent Safari.

Limits: Editing programs, TVs and old phones often cannot open it.

GIF, 256-colour images

GIF is a veteran format limited to 256 colours, with single-level transparency and animation.

Strengths: It works everywhere and suits simple drawings, icons and short animations.

Limits: Photos lose a lot of colour; here only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted.

Frequently asked questions

Is my WebM uploaded to a server to turn it into GIF?

No. The WebM to GIF conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Why is the GIF bigger than the WebM?

GIF is a 1987 image format that stores each frame almost whole with only 256 colours. To make it lighter, trim the clip, lower the width or use 10 frames per second.

Is there a size limit?

Up to 2 GB and 3 hours of video on desktop; on mobile, 500 MB and 30 minutes (AVI: 1 GB and 1 hour on desktop). If it is over, you are told before it starts and can trim it.

Can I convert several WebM files at once?

Yes. Drop as many WebM files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each GIF or all of them in a ZIP.
