What is GIF to WEBM?

Convert animated GIF files to WebM video format for use in modern web browsers.

How It Works

Upload your GIF file, click Convert, and download the WebM. GIF frames are encoded using the VP8 codec for excellent web compatibility.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your GIF

    Drop an animated .gif file onto the upload zone.

  2. 2

    Set quality

    Choose VP9 quality level. WebM is typically even smaller than MP4 for web use.

  3. 3

    Convert

    Click "Convert to WebM". FFmpeg converts the GIF to a WebM video using VP9 encoding.

  4. 4

    Download

    Save the WebM file for embedding in HTML5 web pages with autoplay and loop attributes.
