Yes, completely free. There are no subscription fees, no credit system, and no hidden charges. You can convert as many videos as you like without any cost. We do not add brandings to your output, and no sign-in is required.
No. All video processing happens entirely within your web browser — your video file never leaves your device and is never sent to any external server. Everything runs locally for complete privacy.
The tool supports MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, and GIF input formats. Output can be exported as MP4, animated GIF, or WebM depending on your needs.
Since processing happens in your browser, performance depends on your device's hardware. For smooth operation, we recommend videos up to 2 minutes in length and under 500 MB. Trim your video first for best results.
Dithering is a technique that blends neighboring palette colors to simulate smooth gradients. When enabled, areas like skies, skin tones, and soft color transitions look natural and flowing rather than harsh, banded blocks. The result is a more authentic retro look that feels true to classic hardware.
Yes. You retain full ownership of all content you create with our tool, and you are welcome to use it for commercial purposes including advertising, brand campaigns, NFTs, and monetized social media content.
Start with high-resolution, well-lit source footage. Choose a pixel size matching your content — smaller for detailed subjects, larger for bold retro effects. Enable dithering for footage with gradients. Set frame rate to match your platform — 24–30 fps for social media, 8–12 fps for retro gaming aesthetics.
