# Convert WebM to GIF

> Turn WebM clips — browser screen recordings, exported animations — into GIFs that autoplay anywhere.

Turn a short video clip (up to 15 seconds) into an optimized, palette-tuned GIF, with control over start point, duration, and width. In-browser; no upload.

## 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.
