WebM to GIF
WebM is an open video format for the web with efficient compression. GIF is less efficient but plays everywhere: in chats, forums, email and presentations. The tool converts a short WebM to GIF with a tuned palette.
The file will be deleted from the server automatically.

When to convert WebM to GIF
WebM works well on websites and modern browsers, but it does not always open in messengers, older devices and office programs. GIF remains a universal format for short animations, reactions and interface demos.
How it works
The server extracts frames from the WebM, builds a palette and assembles the GIF. Frame rate is limited and width is reduced to keep the file reasonably small. The source video and result are deleted automatically after download or within an hour.
Tips
Trim the video to the desired moment before uploading. If the animation is still heavy, reduce the resolution or duration. For long clips, MP4 or WebM are better choices than GIF.
Questions and answers
Why not send WebM directly?
WebM is not supported by every messenger and older program. GIF plays almost everywhere, so a short animation is easier to send in this format.
How long should the video be?
Two to ten seconds is ideal. The server accepts videos up to five minutes, but long clips take longer and produce larger GIFs.
Is audio preserved?
No. GIF does not support audio. Use a video format or extract the audio to MP3 separately.
Can I reduce the GIF size?
Yes: lower the source resolution, shorten the clip or choose a fragment with less motion. The tool also limits frame rate and width automatically.
