Questions
What people ask before they start, and how your files stay on your device.
Can I turn just part of an MP4 into a GIF?
Yes. Drag the start and end under the preview to keep only the part you want; the GIF shows exactly that, at the speed you pick.
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.
