# GIF to MP4 / WebM converter

Turn an animated GIF into an MP4 or WebM video that plays anywhere and weighs a fraction of the GIF. Runs locally with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.

## How it works

This tool runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to
WebAssembly (or the Canvas API, where listed). Your file is never uploaded — it is
read into memory, processed locally, and offered back to you as a download.

## Using it

1. Open https://gif.statico.io/gif-to-video/
2. Choose a file, by drag and drop or the file picker.
3. Adjust the settings. GIF → MP4/WebM, far smaller than the original.
4. Set the filename and download. Names are slugified so the result can be
   uploaded straight to Slack as a custom emoji.

Results are also saved to a per-browser history at https://gif.statico.io/history/.
