Convert WebM to GIF

Create a silent GIF from a short WebM recording or browser capture. The conversion downscales output to at most 480px wide and 12fps, which keeps the GIF more shareable but makes it a poor fit for long clips.

About WebM and GIF conversion

WebM is common for browser recordings, demos, and downloaded clips, while GIF is still handy in places that prefer an image-like loop. This pair uses browser ffmpeg to decode the WebM and encode an animated GIF locally.

GIF compression is much less efficient than video compression, so the converter reduces the frame rate and width before encoding. The result has no audio, a maximum 480px width, and 12 frames per second rather than the full WebM stream.

Keep WebM to GIF jobs short: a few seconds of screen action is realistic, while a long recording can produce a slow, oversized file. The one-time same-origin ffmpeg engine download is about 31 MB and is reused by later media conversions.

FAQ

Does WebM to GIF preserve sound?

No. GIF cannot store audio, so any WebM sound track is left out of the animated image.

Will the GIF match my WebM resolution?

Only if the WebM is already 480px wide or smaller. Wider videos are scaled down and encoded at 12fps to avoid enormous GIF output.

When should I use this converter?

Use it for short screen captures, UI loops, and small visual examples that need to paste or embed as GIFs.
