What happens to your files
This tool runs entirely in your browser. The file you choose is read into memory, processed on your device, and offered back as a download. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is kept once you leave the page.
There is no account, no email, no watermark and no daily limit. Come back whenever you need it.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is my GIF so big?
- GIF is an inefficient format. Use a shorter length, a lower frame rate or a smaller width to shrink it.
- Does the GIF loop?
- Yes, it loops forever.
- How large a video can I use?
- Up to 300 MB. The video is processed in your browser's memory, so very long or very large files can run out of it. For those, the free VideoKit mobile app processes videos natively on your phone.
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No. FFmpeg runs inside your browser tab as WebAssembly, so the video never leaves your device. The first run downloads the video engine (about 30 MB) from this site once and reuses it afterwards.
