In-browser Video to GIF
Paste an X post link and convert the video to GIF locally—no upload, no signup
- Problem
- People who frequently turn X video clips into GIFs for replies, reactions or docs find online tools either require registration or force uploading the video to a server, and output is often blurry—raising concerns about both privacy and quality.
- Solution
- A conversion tool that runs entirely in the browser: paste a post link and the video downloads directly to the local machine, ffmpeg.wasm handles conversion locally with draggable start/end, frame rate and width controls plus a size estimate; the server only resolves the video URL from the post ID and stores nothing.
- Users
- Heavy social media users, content creators and office workers who need quick GIFs
- MVP
- Paste X post link to start conversion; local download and ffmpeg.wasm transcoding; start/end, frame rate and width controls with size estimate; no signup and no video stored on server; free tier with daily limits and a watermark
- Revenue
- Free tier is limited and watermarked; subscription removes watermark and raises daily count and duration limits; or a one-time purchase desktop version
- Why now
- ffmpeg.wasm and browser capabilities are now stable enough, and the local-first no-upload angle creates immediate word-of-mouth differentiation; supporting just one platform keeps parsing scope small and maintainable
