Does the GIF have a watermark?

No. The tool does not add a watermark or logo to the output. It runs in your browser, so the video is not uploaded.

What video formats and limits are there?

MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI and MKV videos work. The maximum file size depends on your device, from 2 GB on a desktop with enough memory down to 400 MB on a phone. Clips over 30 seconds get a warning because the GIF becomes very large.

Can I control the GIF size, frame rate and format?

Yes. Choose 8, 12, 15 or 24 frames per second, a width from 80 to 1000 px, a crop ratio, speed and loop style, or set a target file size. You can also save as animated WebP, APNG or MP4, which are usually smaller than GIF.

Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no account and no credit card. The work runs on your device rather than on our servers, which is what keeps it free to run.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Your files are opened and processed inside your browser and are not sent to LibraTool. Some tools first download a processing engine or AI model to your browser; that download contains no data of yours.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It runs in current mobile browsers on iOS and Android, with nothing to install. Very large files can be slow or run out of memory on a phone, so use a computer for those.

How It Works

Most "video to GIF" sites upload your clip to a server. This one runs the real FFmpeg encoder inside your browser via WebAssembly, using a two-pass palette technique for the best colours a 256-colour GIF can show.

1
FFmpeg.wasm loads once
FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (~30 MB) downloads the first time you use a media tool, then is cached by your browser for instant reuse.
2
You pick a clip range, frame rate and width
Your video is loaded into FFmpeg's in-memory filesystem. Nothing is sent anywhere — the file stays in your browser's RAM.
3
A custom palette is generated, then applied
Pass one analyses your exact clip and builds an optimal 256-colour palette (palettegen). Pass two re-renders the frames against that palette with optional dithering (paletteuse) — the same technique pro tools use.
4
The GIF is offered for download
The finished GIF is handed back to your browser as a downloadable blob and previewed in-page.

Your footage never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, there is no queue and no watermark. Ideal for turning private screen recordings, clips, or personal videos into shareable GIFs.
