Private Video to GIF Converter
Sample a short browser-decodable clip into an animated GIF without uploading the source video.
Ready. Your working data stays in this browser.
Files and capture streams stay on this device. Processing uses browser APIs only; nothing is uploaded to YTSave, the media API or a proxy.
How it works
The browser samples bounded timestamps, scales each canvas frame, quantizes a local palette and writes GIF bytes with pinned gifenc.
Practical example
Convert a three-second clip at 8 fps and 320 pixels wide, then check the frame count and output size before download.
Validation
The calculation is deterministic and explains validation errors instead of silently changing invalid input.
Privacy boundary
Input and output remain in this tab. Copy and download happen through browser APIs without a server upload.
Result passport
Every run reports its tool mode, timestamp and input/output size so transformed data can be audited.
