When a GIF beats WebM

WebM is smaller and better looking, but many places — email clients, some chat apps, markdown docs — only accept images. A GIF works everywhere an image does.

Keep the output lean by lowering the frame rate and scale; GIF files grow quickly with resolution.

Frequently asked questions

Does WebM to GIF keep transparency?

Yes. Alpha in VP8/VP9 WebM is preserved as GIF transparency (hard-edged, since GIF has no partial transparency).

Why is the GIF bigger than the WebM?

GIF compression is far less efficient than VP9. That is normal — reduce scale and frame rate to compensate.

Can I convert a WebM screen recording to GIF?

Yes. Browser and OBS WebM recordings convert fine.
