MP4 to animated WEBP

Convert MP4 to animated WebP (~480p / 12fps cap) locally in the browser with ffmpeg.wasm—often smaller than GIF for similar motion.

How it works

  • Export MP4 as animated WebP for smaller files than many GIFs—capped to about 480p / 12fps in the browser for stability.
  • Audio is omitted; output is an animated image, not a video container.

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. Animated WebP re-encode can still OOM on very long or large sources. Try a shorter clip (e.g. under ~30s), a 1080p or smaller file, or transcode 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.
