GIF to WebM converter
Turn GIF files into WebM for free. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your pictures are never uploaded anywhere.
How to convert GIF to WebM
- Add your GIF files. Drop one or more .gif files on the box above, or tap it to pick them from your device.
- Let it convert. The first image you convert loads the converter once (about 31 MB, then cached). After that it runs on your device; a progress bar shows how far along it is.
- Download the WebM. Press Download next to each file. Nothing was sent to a server, so close the tab and it's gone.
What is a GIF file?
GIF is the classic format for short looping animations and simple graphics. It is limited to 256 colors per frame.
What is WebM?
WebM is an open video format made for the web, usually VP8 or VP9 video with Vorbis or Opus sound. Screen recorders and browsers often save WebM.
Why convert GIF to WebM?
GIF is great for animations that play anywhere without a video player, but only 256 colors, and animated GIFs are very large compared with video. WebM is the better choice for web pages and open-source players; keep in mind iPhones, many editors, WhatsApp and some social networks don't accept WebM.
Will I lose quality?
WebM uses lossy compression tuned so the difference is invisible at normal use. We use high-quality settings by default.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: the converter itself is loaded into your browser and works offline from there, so your pictures never leave your phone or computer.
