Video to GIF/WebM Converter

What is This Tool?

Video to GIF/WebM Converter is a free browser-based tool that turns video clips into lightweight animated WebM files or frame sequences. Upload any MP4, WebM, or MOV file, select a start/end time (up to 15 seconds), pick the output size and frame rate, and generate an animated clip — all without uploading to any server.

How to Use This Tool

1. Upload an MP4, WebM, or MOV video file (up to 500 MB).
2. Use the start time and end time sliders to select up to 15 seconds of the video.
3. Choose an output width (Original, 480px, 320px, or 240px) — smaller widths produce smaller files.
4. Select a frame rate (10, 15, or 20 FPS) — lower FPS means smaller files.
5. Click Generate Clip to extract frames and build the animated clip.
6. Preview the frame strip and the final clip, then download it.

When to Use This Tool

Use this tool to create short animated clips for social media, messaging apps, presentations, or documentation. It is a great free alternative to CloudConvert, Convertio, or GIPHY — no sign-up or subscription required. Everything runs locally in your browser using Canvas and MediaRecorder APIs.

Tips and Best Practices

• Keep clips under 5 seconds for the smallest file sizes. The maximum is 15 seconds.
• Lower frame rates (10 FPS) produce much smaller files while still looking smooth for most content.
• Smaller output widths (320px, 240px) dramatically reduce file size for sharing on chat or social media.
• WebM files are supported by all modern browsers and are typically 50-80% smaller than GIFs.
• Your video never leaves your device — all processing happens locally in your browser.
