🔒 Verify the privacy claim yourself

Simplest way to confirm your videos never leave this device:

Disconnect from the internet.

Turn off your Wi-Fi → conversion keeps working. The banner up top turns green.

Note: the conversion engine (ffmpeg.wasm, ~30 MB) downloads once on first use, then runs entirely on your computer. After that first download, you can be fully offline.

or drop a video here

Supports MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, 3GP

Reddit and Discord embeds look best at 480p / 15fps. Most GIFs land 1–5 MB at this preset.

Why convert in the browser?

🔒

Your video never leaves your computer

Conversion runs in your browser via ffmpeg.wasm — the same engine VLC and YouTube use. Open the network tab. Zero uploads.

🚫

No watermark, no signup, no size cap

CloudConvert caps free users at 10 conversions per day. EZgif caps at 200 MB. VEED stamps "VEED" on free output. We don't do any of that.

🎞️

Two-pass palette for clean colors

Most converters use a generic 256-color palette. We generate a palette tuned to your specific video, then re-encode — same trick HandBrake uses.

✂️

Trim before you convert

Set start time + duration up front. No wasted MB on a 30-second clip when you only wanted 4 seconds.

⚡

No upload wait

Other tools upload your file first, then convert, then download. We skip the round trip — conversion starts the instant you drop the file.

🌐

Works offline after first visit

Engine downloads once, then runs forever. Turn off Wi-Fi to verify — conversion keeps working.

GIF use-case guides

Make a GIF for Reddit

480p / 15fps embed-ready GIFs that play inline in Reddit posts and comments. Sizing, loop, and best-practice durations.

Make a GIF for Discord

Discord-friendly GIF sizing that lands well under the 10 MB free-tier cap. Autoplay + loop + no sound = perfect for chat.

Make a GIF for Twitter / X

Fits the 5 MB mobile cap and the 15 MB web cap. How X transcodes your GIF to MP4 — and why that's fine.

MOV (iPhone / QuickTime) → GIF

iPhone .mov files — including HEVC / H.265 footage — decode natively. No pre-transcoding to MP4 required.
