MP4 to GIF
Convert MP4 to an animated GIF (~480p / 12fps cap, palette colors) locally in the browser with ffmpeg.wasm—no audio in the output.
How it works
- Turn MP4 into a looping-friendly animated GIF in your browser; resolution and frame rate are capped before encode to reduce memory use.
- Audio is omitted—GIF only carries frames.
FAQ
- Are my files uploaded to your servers?
- No. By default, Awesome Tools processes files entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers for conversion.
- Why is it slow the first time?
- ffmpeg WebAssembly is downloaded on demand. Subsequent runs may be faster due to caching.
- Why does conversion fail with “memory access out of bounds” or similar?
- Browser WebAssembly has a tight memory budget. GIF palette encoding keeps colors limited but long or high-resolution clips can still exceed RAM. Try a shorter clip (e.g. under ~30s), a 1080p or smaller source, or convert on desktop first.
- Why did my conversion fail?
- Large files, unusual codecs, or browser memory limits can cause failures. Try a smaller file or a different browser. See the limits on this page.
