Convert
Change a video's format, turn it into a GIF, or extract the audio track.
Convert covers three operations: change a video's container format, turn a clip into an animated GIF, or pull the audio out as a standalone file.
Open it at https://openclip.app/tools/convert, or press Cmd-K and type "convert", "gif", or "mp3".
Convert video
Re-encode a video into another format.
| Option | Choices | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Format | MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV | MP4 |
| Video quality | Auto, High (8 Mbps), Medium (4 Mbps), Low (2 Mbps) | Auto |
| Audio quality | Auto, High (320 kbps), Good (256 kbps), Standard (192 kbps), Compact (128 kbps) | Auto |
Auto lets the encoder pick a bitrate. Pick an explicit quality only when you need to control file size.
Video to GIF
Turn a video (or a section of one) into a looping GIF.
| Option | Choices | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Frame rate | Smooth (20 fps), Standard (15 fps), Small (10 fps), or 1 to 60 | 15 |
| Size | Large (640px), Medium (480px), Small (320px), or a custom width | 480 |
| Quality | Sharper (5), Balanced (10), Smaller file (20), range 1 to 30 | 10 |
| Loop | Infinite, Play once, Loop 3 times | Infinite |
| Start (ms) / End (ms) | Trim range in milliseconds | Whole video |
GIFs get large fast. For anything longer than a few seconds, drop the frame rate and size before reaching for the quality knob.
Extract audio
Rip the audio track into its own file.
| Option | Choices | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Format | MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC | MP3 |
| Audio quality | Auto, High (320 kbps), Good (256 kbps), Standard (192 kbps), Compact (128 kbps) | Auto |
| Start (ms) / End (ms) | Trim range in milliseconds | Whole video |
MP3 is the safe default. Use WAV or FLAC when you need lossless audio for further editing.
Watermarks and limits
Converted videos and GIFs are visual outputs, so free-plan results carry a watermark. Extracted audio is not visual and is never watermarked. Every run counts against your daily quota (10 on free, 500 on paid), and inputs follow your plan's caps: 200 MB / 10 minutes free, 2 GB / 6 hours paid. See Tools overview.
