Turn your WebM file into a GIF that plays where you need it, right in your browser.
Drag and drop the file, or click to browse. Files up to 500 MB are supported, and nothing is installed.
GIF is already selected, so there is nothing to configure. You can switch formats in the panel if you need to.
We convert on our servers, usually in under a minute. Create a free account to download the GIF, or keep editing the file in REQO.
WebM is the open, royalty-free container built for the web. It is what most browser-based screen recorders produce, and VP9 packs the same picture into noticeably less data than H.264.
The practical problem: Most editing software, phones and TVs will not open a WebM file. Social platforms and messaging apps frequently reject the extension outright. Safari and older Apple devices handle WebM inconsistently.
GIF solves that. Auto-plays and loops in email, docs, issue trackers and chat apps where video is blocked. Needs no player, no controls and no click to start.
| WebM | GIF | |
|---|---|---|
| Container | WebM (Matroska-based) | Graphics Interchange Format |
| Typical codecs | VP8 / VP9 / AV1 video, Opus audio | Indexed colour, up to 256 colours, no audio |
| Best for | Web embeds and browser recordings | Short silent loops in docs, chat and email |
| Plays on | Chrome, Firefox and Edge; hit and miss elsewhere | Everywhere an image can be shown |
| File size | Very small at the same quality | Huge for anything over a few seconds |
Yes. Convert and preview the result for free, then create a free account to download it. There is no per-file charge and no watermark on the GIF itself beyond the free-plan badge.
No. The conversion runs on our servers and the whole flow happens in your browser, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android.
Visibly, yes. GIF is limited to 256 colours, so gradients and camera footage band. It is the right format for short UI loops and reaction clips, not for anything you want to look sharp.
Up to 500 MB per file. For anything bigger, trim or compress it first, both are free tools here.
Your upload is processed and then held only as long as your project needs it. Nothing is published, indexed or shared unless you create a share link yourself.
