Why convert video to animated WebP instead of a GIF?

Animated WebP does everything a GIF does — auto-play, loop, no sound — but at a far smaller size and with full color instead of GIF's 256. For a looping clip on a web page it's the better-looking, lighter-weight choice, and it's supported across every current browser.

Which video formats can I upload?

MP4, MOV, and WebM. Drop one in, trim to the part you want, and convert to an animated loop. If you only need a single still frame instead of a loop, the frame-picker can export one as a still WebP.

Does the animated WebP keep my video's audio?

No — animated WebP is an image format, so it has no sound, exactly like a GIF. Any audio in your source video is dropped automatically. If you need the sound, convert to WebM video instead.

Will an animated WebP play everywhere?

Yes. Every current major browser renders animated WebP inline and loops it automatically, just like a GIF. Drop it straight into an tag and it plays with no video player or extra code.

Is it free, and what happens to my files?

It's completely free, with no signup and no watermark. Your video is processed on the server and the files auto-delete within about an hour — Pro accounts keep them permanently. Nothing is kept or shared.

Got a clip that needs to loop silently on a web page? Convert your video to animated WebP and get a crisp, lightweight loop that plays inline anywhere — the modern answer to the aging GIF.

Animated WebP keeps the full color and detail of your footage, where a GIF would band it down to 256 colors and balloon in size. You get the same auto-playing, looping motion, at a far smaller file and noticeably sharper quality.

Upload an MP4, MOV, or WebM, trim to the exact moment, dial in the frame rate and size, choose how many times it loops, and export. It runs server-side on FFmpeg, with no signup, no watermark, and files that auto-delete within about an hour.

Far smaller than the same GIF

Animated WebP packs the same looping motion into a fraction of a GIF's weight, so your loop loads fast and won't drag down page speed — and you don't trade away quality to get there.

Full color, not just 256

GIF caps out at 256 colors and shows visible banding on gradients and skin tones. Animated WebP carries the full range straight from your video, so gradients stay smooth and detail stays crisp.

Tune every frame before export

Trim to the exact in and out points, set the fps, crop and resize, and pick how many times the clip loops. Audio is dropped automatically — animated WebP is silent by design.
