How it works

1

Drop your WebM file

It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.

2

Pick the moment

Choose the start time, duration (up to 15 seconds), and output width.

3

Download your GIF

A custom color palette is built from your footage for a sharp result — free, no watermark.

From screen recording to shareable GIF

Browser-based screen recorders and many capture tools save to WebM — perfect for recording, awkward for sharing. Converting the highlight to a GIF makes it embeddable in a GitHub pull request, a support ticket, a Slack thread, or documentation, where it autoplays without a player. Keep it under a few seconds and choose a width that matches where it will live; palette optimization keeps UI text legible.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert WebM to GIF at all?

WebM plays great in browsers but many places still handle GIFs better: GitHub READMEs render GIFs inline, chat apps autoplay them, and older tools and CMSs accept GIF where WebM fails. For short demo clips, GIF remains the most frictionless format.

Can I control the GIF size and length?

Yes. Pick the start time, the duration (up to 15 seconds), and the output width (320, 480, or 640 pixels). Shorter and narrower means a smaller file — GIFs grow fast, so trim to just the moment you need.

Why does my GIF look different from the video?

GIF is a 256-color format from 1989 — some color banding is unavoidable. The maker builds a custom color palette from your actual footage (the same two-pass technique professionals use with FFmpeg), which gets dramatically better results than generic converters.

Is it really free?

Yes. The GIF maker is completely free, with no signup, watermarks, or limits. We make money from our video translation service, not from this tool.

Do you upload my files?

No. The conversion happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
