WebM to GIF

Convert a WebM, the format of most browser screen recordings, to a GIF. It all happens in your browser, so the recording never leaves your device.

or drop it here. MP4, MOV, WebM and more; nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. Choose a WebM, or drop it on the page.
  2. Drag the start and end to keep the part you want, then pick the speed, width and frames a second.
  3. Press Make GIF, then Download.

Questions

My WebM shows no length. Will it convert?

Yes. Recordings made in a browser often don't store their length; Brume reads it from the file before you trim.

Is it free?

Yes. GIFs up to 30 seconds long and 800 pixels wide, with no watermark and no sign-up.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Brume reads the video in your browser and makes the GIF there. Nothing is sent to a server, so it works the same for private recordings.

How do I make the GIF smaller?

Make it narrower and use fewer frames a second: 480 pixels at 10 frames a second is often a tenth of the size of 800 at 25. A shorter trim, or a faster speed, helps too.

Why does my GIF look grainy or banded?

A GIF holds 256 colours. For footage from a camera, turn on Dither: it trades bands for a fine, even texture. Screen recordings look best with it off.

Which videos work?

Any video your browser can play: MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V and most MKV. If one won't open here, your browser can't play it either; try another browser.
