Convert WebM video files to animated GIF for sharing on platforms that do not support WebM. Trim clips, set frame rate, and tune the palette for the best balance between quality and file size. Need the other direction? Use our GIF to WebM tool. For other inputs try MP4 to GIF or Video to GIF.

WebM is a modern, compact video format used by Reddit-hosted videos, Discord clips, Twitter exports, and most browser video players. While WebM produces smaller files than GIF, it does not work everywhere: many email clients, older messaging apps, content management systems, and image-only platforms reject it. Converting to GIF guarantees the animation plays in any context that displays images.
The trade-off is file size - GIFs are typically 3-10 times larger than the same WebM. To minimize the cost, we use smart palette generation, configurable dithering, and frame rate control. Want to compress the result further? Run it through Compress GIF after conversion.
If your source is MP4 instead, use MP4 to GIF. If you want a still frame from the WebM, our GIF Maker can help.
Start time + duration so you only convert the clip you need.
Per-frame palette analysis preserves the colors that matter.
From sharp Bayer to smooth Floyd-Steinberg - your choice.
Up to 10 WebMs at once, packaged into a single ZIP.
Optional lossless post-processing trims output size.
Files auto-delete after 4 hours, no account required.
WebM is widely used across the web. Reddit-hosted videos download as WebM, Discord lets you save clips as WebM, Twitter exports short clips in WebM, OBS Studio can record in WebM, and the format is the standard output for browser screen-recording tools. Most modern browsers play WebM natively without plugins.
GIF has hard limitations the source WebM does not: only 256 colors per frame, no smooth alpha transparency, and no modern compression. Smooth gradients become color bands, fast motion can look choppy at lower frame rates. To minimize the loss, choose "Best" quality, keep 256 colors, and use Floyd-Steinberg dithering.
30 seconds per GIF. Beyond that, the GIF becomes enormous (often over 50 MB) and most platforms reject it anyway. If your video is longer, set the start time and duration to capture the most important segment. For longer clips, consider keeping the original WebM or using Compress GIF aggressively after conversion.
15 fps is the sweet spot for most clips - smooth enough for talking heads, gaming, and animations, but small enough to keep file size reasonable. Use 24 or 30 fps only for fast-motion content where choppiness would be obvious. Drop to 10 fps for memes or slow content where small file size matters most.
GIF does not support audio, so any sound in your WebM is discarded during conversion. If you need to keep audio, do not convert to GIF - use MP4 or keep the WebM. Our GIF to WebM tool goes the other direction (also without audio, since GIFs have none to begin with).
100 MB per WebM, 10 files per batch. Three or more files are packaged into a single ZIP archive with a README.
