In-Browser Video to GIF Converter

Convert MP4, WebM, and MOV videos into lightweight animated GIFs in your browser. Trim timelines, adjust frame rates, and add meme captions.

Quick Answer & Summary

An in-browser video-to-GIF converter extracts sequential video frames via HTML5 Canvas, quantizes 24-bit RGB pixels into an optimized 256-color palette, and compresses frame deltas into standard GIF89a binary streams with zero server uploads and complete privacy.

GIF Uncompressed Frame Buffer Size Estimation
Size_raw = Width × Height × FPS × Duration_sec × 1 Byte (Indexed 8-bit)

Actual binary GIF file size is significantly smaller due to LZW dictionary-based spatial data compression.
