How to use

Turn a WebM recording into a GIF in two short steps.

  1. 1

    Upload a WebM file (screen capture, browser recording, or web export). Trim duration and tweak frame timing if the clip is longer than you need, then preview the loop.

  2. 2

    Export the GIF and download it for Slack, docs, Notion, or social posts that still prefer GIF over video embeds.

Benefits

Features & benefits

Choose WebM to GIF when your source is already a web-friendly recording — not a phone camera MP4.

  • Built for browser WebM

    Handles VP8/VP9 WebM from screen recorders and web exports, the formats most browser capture tools write by default.

  • Alpha-aware sources

    Many WebM captures include transparency or clean UI overlays. Conversion focuses on readable motion for chats and docs, not cinema color grading.

  • Clip length control

    Keep demos short: trim to the moment that matters so GIF size stays manageable for messaging apps.

  • Local FFmpeg WASM

    Decoding runs in your browser after a one-time WASM load — the WebM file is not uploaded to our servers.

Technical

How it works

  • 01

    WebM typically uses VP8 or VP9 video in a Matroska-based container, common for browser MediaRecorder and screen-capture workflows. This tool decodes those frames with FFmpeg WebAssembly, then remuxes them into a palette-based GIF suitable for universal playback.

  • 02

    Unlike camera MP4 pipelines, WebM sources are often already short UI demos. Processing stays in the browser so recordings of private product UIs never leave your device.

    I really love that everything is processed locally in the browser, with no uploads or account sign-up needed!

    Converting WebM to GIF is surprisingly a bit of a hassle, so simple niche tools like this are super handy.

    Congrats on the launch!
