How it works

Upload Video, tune FPS and palette options, and export a looping GIF. GIF encoding uses local FFmpeg with two-pass color optimization. The tool requires an initial, one-time download of a local processing engine (Web Worker). This may take a few moments depending on internet speed, but ensures zero server uploads and total privacy.

Features

  • Browser-native processing

    Conversions run in your tab with JavaScript — no desktop app required.

  • Zero server uploads

    Files stay on your device during processing. We do not receive your uploads.

  • WebAssembly when needed

    Heavy codecs and AI models run locally via Web Workers and WASM (FFmpeg.wasm, Transformers.js).
