HOW IT WORKS
1
Drop the gif file
Add your GIF video by dragging it in or browsing. It stays on this device.
2
Confirm WEBM
The video is re-encoded as WEBM using an encoder running in this tab.
3
Download
The WEBM file saves straight back - no upload, no queue, no copy kept.
Why convert here, not there
No upload, ever
Family videos, screen recordings, client footage - your gif never leaves the device.
Local conversion
Click Convert to process the video locally. The converter engine may need to download before work begins.
No account, no daily cap
No 25-minute caps or per-day limits. Convert the whole gif folder.
The two formats, briefly
| GIF | GIF can hold looping animation, with up to 256 colors per frame and no audio. Converting to or from GIF can change colors, dimensions or animation. | |
|---|---|---|
| WEBM | WebM is a media container. This converter writes VP8 video at a fixed 1 Mbps with Vorbis audio when present. | |
When you need this
- Convert a GIF animation into WEBM for a video workflow. It does not create sound or restore colors already missing from the GIF. Check that the receiving app accepts the result.
GIF vs WEBM: what changes
| GIF | WEBM | |

| Kind | Video | Video |
| Compression | Limited-palette image | Depends on output encoding |

Keep the original. Compare the exported file before sharing or replacing it.
Good to know
- This path writes VP8 video at a fixed 1 Mbps with Vorbis audio when present. The quality menu does not alter that path; detailed video can lose visible detail.
- First use downloads the audio/video engine (about 30 MB). The input cap is 2 GB, but available browser memory can run out below that.
GIF to WEBM, answered
Why convert GIF to WEBM?+
Convert a GIF animation into WEBM for a video workflow. It does not create sound or restore colors already missing from the GIF. Check that the receiving app accepts the result.
Which quality should I pick?+
This path writes VP8 video at a fixed 1 Mbps with Vorbis audio when present. The quality menu does not alter that path; detailed video can lose visible detail.
Does converting GIF to WEBM lose quality?+
Video is re-encoded with lossy compression. Detail can change, and tracks, subtitles or metadata may not survive. Keep the original and inspect picture, sound and sync.
Is there a file size limit?+
The hard cap is 2 GB per file. The practical limit is your device: conversion runs in its memory, so very large files can fail on phones with little free RAM. There is no server-side cap because nothing is uploaded.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?+
Never. Your gif file stays inside this tab; the webm is produced by code on your device. Its contents never leave your device.
