How to use the GIF to WEBM converter
- Choose the GIF.
- Set how many times it repeats (you can also loop it in HTML).
- Click Convert to WEBM.
- Download and use it in a <video autoplay loop muted playsinline> tag.
Faster pages
Page-speed tools such as Lighthouse recommend replacing animated GIFs with video. A WebM usually weighs a fraction of the GIF. Use the HTML video tag with the autoplay, loop, muted and playsinline attributes so it behaves like a GIF.
Good to know
GIF frame timing is kept, so the video plays at the same speed as the GIF. Width and height are rounded to even numbers because H.264 and VP8 require it. The output is silent, since GIFs carry no sound.
Supported files
Animated and still GIF files. Files up to 1 GB each.
