Turn a video clip into a GIF — privately
Pick a start time and length, choose the size and frame rate, and DrawnColor builds a smooth animated GIF in your browser using an optimised colour palette. Nothing is uploaded and there’s no watermark.
Tips for a small, smooth GIF
Keep the length under ~6 seconds, the width around 480px, and the frame rate at 12–15 FPS. GIFs get large fast, so shorter and smaller is smoother and easier to share.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?⌄
No. DrawnColor processes your file entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your file never leaves your device. There are no upload limits from us and nothing is stored.
How do I keep the GIF file small?⌄
Use a short length (under about 6 seconds), a width around 480 pixels, and a frame rate of 12 to 15 FPS. GIFs grow quickly, so smaller and shorter is better.
Why does the GIF look smoother here?⌄
DrawnColor builds an optimised colour palette for your clip and applies dithering, which gives noticeably better quality than a basic conversion.
