WEBM to GIF
Choose your frame rate and target width, then convert your WEBM video into a downloadable animated GIF — free, private, and processed entirely in your browser.
About the WEBM to GIF Converter
Our free online WEBM to GIF converter turns a lightweight, open-source WEBM clip into a highly compatible animated GIF loop. It's perfect for turning screen recordings, highlights, and short clips into animations you can drop straight into chat apps, forums, and social posts that don't support WEBM playback.
Unlike most online tools, conversion happens entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 video and Canvas APIs — your video is never uploaded to a server. That means it's fast, works without an internet round-trip, and keeps your files completely private and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the conversion quality be high?
Yes. Frames are extracted directly from the video's digital rendering via the Canvas API, so colors and outlines stay very crisp — there's no re-encoding through a lossy intermediate format.
Are my files safe?
Yes. Everything — video decoding, frame capture, and GIF encoding — runs entirely locally in your browser. No video data ever leaves your computer.
Why convert WEBM to GIF instead of just sharing the WEBM?
WEBM is a great open, lightweight video format, but it isn't supported everywhere GIFs are — many chat apps, forums, and older platforms only accept GIF for animated images. Converting bridges that compatibility gap.
What frame rate and width should I pick?
10 FPS at 320px is a good default for compact, widely-shareable GIFs. Bump the frame rate to 15 FPS for smoother motion, or the width to 480px or 640px for more detail — both trade off a larger file size.
Does it cost money?
No. The WEBM to GIF converter is 100% free to use, with no registration or account required.
