Questions
What people ask before they start, and how your files stay on your device.
Why won't my iPhone video open?
iPhones film in HEVC by default, which Chrome and Firefox can't play on most Windows and Linux computers. Open it in Safari, or Edge with HEVC support, or set the camera to Most Compatible (Settings, Camera, Formats) before filming.
Is it free?
Yes. GIFs up to 30 seconds long and 800 pixels wide, with no watermark and no sign-up.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Brume reads the video in your browser and makes the GIF there. Nothing is sent to a server, so it works the same for private recordings.
How do I make the GIF smaller?
Make it narrower and use fewer frames a second: 480 pixels at 10 frames a second is often a tenth of the size of 800 at 25. A shorter trim, or a faster speed, helps too.
Why does my GIF look grainy or banded?
A GIF holds 256 colours. For footage from a camera, turn on Dither: it trades bands for a fine, even texture. Screen recordings look best with it off.
Which videos work?
Any video your browser can play: MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V and most MKV. If one won't open here, your browser can't play it either; try another browser.
