Why animated WebP instead of GIF?

Animated WebP supports millions of colors and modern lossy compression, so a loop is typically 3–10× smaller than the same GIF while looking noticeably cleaner — no 256-color banding or dithering artifacts.

Do all browsers support animated WebP?

Yes — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and all modern mobile browsers play animated WebP. If you need something that also works in very old software or in email clients, switch the output to optimized GIF.

What does the quality slider do?

It sets the WebP encoder's quality (10–100). Around 70–80 looks visually lossless for screen recordings; lowering it to 40–60 shrinks the file a lot for busy live-action footage.

What is a ping-pong loop?

It plays your clip forward and then backwards, so the last frame flows straight back into the first. It's the easiest way to make a short clip loop seamlessly without matching start and end frames.

How do I make the file smaller?

Lower the frame rate to 12–15 fps, reduce the width to 480–720 px, shorten the selection, and lower the WebP quality. Those four settings dominate file size.

Is there a length limit?

Free users get clips up to 15 seconds and files up to 100 MB, three times a day. Pro removes the daily limit and allows clips up to two minutes and much larger source files.

Can I keep the audio?

No. Animated WebP and GIF are image formats with no audio track. Use the video cutter or audio converter if you need sound.

Convert video to an animated WebP loop

Convert MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM clips into a looping animated WebP (or an optimized GIF) with adjustable quality, frame rate, width, and ping-pong looping — 100% in your browser, no upload.

Drop a video, or click to browse

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM → animated WebP or GIF. Up to 100.00 MB and 15s clips on free.

What people use it for

Replace a heavy autoplay hero video with a lightweight looping WebP that doesn't hurt Core Web Vitals.
Turn a screen recording into a small animated WebP for documentation, a README, or a changelog entry.
Make a seamless ping-pong loop from a short product clip for a landing page or ad.
Compress an existing GIF workflow: convert the source video to WebP and cut page weight dramatically.
Create a looping preview thumbnail for a portfolio, store listing, or app gallery.
Export an optimized GIF instead when you need something that pastes into Slack, Teams, or email.

This free video to animated WebP converter turns MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM clips into a small, sharp looping animation without uploading anything. It runs on ffmpeg.wasm in your own browser, using the libwebp animation encoder — the same encoder used by command-line tools like img2webp and gif2webp, just without installing anything.

If you've been making GIF loops for a website, this is usually the upgrade you want: an animated WebP keeps full color and modern compression, so a five-second loop that would be a 4 MB GIF often lands under 500 KB. That matters for page speed, mobile data, and Core Web Vitals. When you do need maximum compatibility — Slack, Teams, email signatures, older forums — flip the output switch and the same trimmer renders an optimized GIF through FFmpeg's two-pass palettegen/paletteuse pipeline instead.

Trim to the exact section with the timeline handles, tune frame rate, width and quality, and turn on the ping-pong loop to make a clip that doesn't visibly jump when it repeats. Everything stays local, so it works for internal screen recordings and unreleased product footage too.

How it works

1
Drop your video
Drag an MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM into the box, or click to browse. The file never leaves your device.
2
Trim and choose the loop
Set start and end on the timeline, pick animated WebP or optimized GIF, and enable ping-pong looping if you want a seamless repeat.
3
Tune size and quality
Adjust frame rate, width, and the WebP quality slider to hit the file size you need — the estimated frame count updates as you go.
4
Convert and download
ffmpeg.wasm encodes the loop locally and hands you the finished file, with a live preview before you download.

Frequently asked questions

No. The clip is decoded and re-encoded entirely in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm. Nothing is sent to a server, so even confidential screen recordings stay on your machine.
