How to convert WebM to GIF
WebM is the open web video format (VP8, VP9 or AV1 video). Chrome, Edge and Firefox open WebM files, and recent Safari versions open most VP9 WebM files. Choose the file above, trim up to 15 seconds and click Create GIF; the GIF then works in places that do not accept WebM, such as many email clients and older chat apps.
Trim and set quality
Select up to 15 seconds and pick a preset or set width and frame rate.
Download the GIF
Click Create GIF and download the looping file.
Which WebM files open?
| File | Opens in the browser? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| VP8 / VP9 WebM | Chrome, Edge, Firefox; recent Safari | Most WebM files from screen recorders and the web. |
| AV1 WebM | Recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox | Use Chrome or Firefox if Safari cannot open it. |
| Transparent WebM (alpha) | Opens, but GIF transparency is not kept | The GIF gets a solid background. |
Best GIF settings for WebM clips
| Use | Setting | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Screen captures | More detail: 720 px, 20 fps | Sharp text, small files. |
| Stickers and reactions | Smaller file: 320 px, 10 fps | Fast to load in chats. |
| General clips | Balanced: 480 px, 15 fps | A good default for most uses. |

WebM to GIF FAQ
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video is opened by your browser and turned into a GIF with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so it stays on your device. It is free, with no account, no daily limit and no watermark.
Why convert WebM to GIF?
GIF plays automatically almost everywhere, including email and apps that do not accept WebM uploads. WebM is smaller, so keep it when the destination supports video.
Is transparency kept?
No. The converter writes a GIF with a solid background, so transparent areas of a WebM are filled.
How long can the GIF be?
Up to 15 seconds and 300 frames per GIF.
