A free tool that converts video to GIF and compresses video — entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
Almost every online video-to-GIF converter makes you upload your footage to a stranger's server, wait in a queue, and trust that your file is deleted afterwards. That felt backwards. Modern browsers can run ffmpeg directly through WebAssembly, so the whole job can happen on your own machine — faster, more private, and with no upload limit.
SimpleGIF converts MOV, MP4, WebM, AVI, MKV, M4V, WMV, FLV and OGV files into looping GIFs, and compresses videos to smaller H.264 files up to 500MB. You control the frame rate, size, speed, looping and quality — and everything runs locally. See how it works.
There is no backend that receives your files, no account system, and no file storage. Your media is processed by the code running in front of you and never leaves your device. The full details are in our privacy policy.
