What this tool does
Samples 2–10 equally spaced frames from a range of at most five seconds. The existing RGB332 GIF encoder writes a looping, silent animation. The chosen range duration controls the frame delay. Maximum side 480 pixels; reduced colours and sparse frames make this suitable for compact previews, not smooth high-fidelity video.
Supported files, limits & important details
No uploads, autosave or dependency download. One browser-playable video, 20 MB, 120 seconds source, at most 8 million pixels per input frame. Compression records in real time in the foreground; WebM/MP4 depends on browser and size reduction is not guaranteed. Thumbnails: maximum 1280-pixel side, PNG/JPEG. GIF: range 0.2–5 seconds, 2–10 frames, maximum 480-pixel side and 2.304 million frame pixels, RGB332 palette, no audio. Seeking and timing are approximate; device/codec support varies. Keep the page visible during export. Output must be downloaded before leaving.
