WebM to GIF
Convert a WebM video into a looping GIF with selectable frame rate and width. A two-pass palette improves colour selection, but results still depend on the source. Browser-only, no upload.

- Best for
- Turning a short browser animation, screen capture, or interface moment into a silent loop that can display without a video player.
- Input → output
- WebM input becomes a looping GIF at 8–24 fps and 320–800 pixels wide, using a generated palette and no audio channel.
- Quality tip
- Trim before conversion and keep width modest. A 10–12 fps setting often preserves the motion without multiplying frames unnecessarily.
- Know before running
- GIF reduces colour depth to 256 colours and can be much larger than WebM. Long clips, photographic gradients, and rapid full-frame movement are especially inefficient.
- Next step
- Optimize GIF to reduce frame rate or width after reviewing the first loop.
How to use WebM to GIF
- 1
Choose your file. Drop a supported WebM file into the tool, or click to select one. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
- 2
Pick your settings. Adjust the available options, then press Run. The first processing run loads the browser engine before conversion begins.
- 3
Download. Review the result, then download the finished file from your browser with no watermark.
Frequently asked questions
- Is WebM to GIF free? Is there a watermark?
- Yes — WebM to GIF is free to use with no sign-up or watermark. Very large files can still be limited by your browser's available memory and processing resources.
- Do my files get uploaded to a server?
- No. WebM to GIF runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly, so your WebM file never leaves your device and nothing is stored or seen by us.
- What can I put in, and what do I get out?
- WebM to GIF accepts WebM and gives you back a GIF file. You can also set frame rate and width before you run it. Actual codec support depends on what the bundled engine or browser decoder can read.
- Will I lose quality converting to GIF?
- GIF supports at most 256 colours and no audio. The two-pass palette improves colour selection, but gradients and photographic detail can still dither or band.
