Plotlake is a privacy-first GIF maker that runs entirely in your browser. Drop JPG, PNG, WebP, or MP4/WebM/MOV files, trim what you need, and generate a crisp GIF without uploading to a server. No watermark, no signup, no hidden limits - just fast local processing powered by WebAssembly FFmpeg.
We ship presets tuned for social media, tutorials, ultra quality, and small file exports. The tool respects platform limits, letting you choose 2K-4K widths, 100-180ms delays, or FPS-based extraction for video clips up to ~60 seconds or 300 frames. Everything is adjustable: dithering, loop count, compression palette sizes, and fill color for padding.
Because processing is local, sensitive footage never leaves your device. The first video run downloads a cached ~30MB FFmpeg core; after that, frame extraction and palette generation stay snappy. For images, per-frame delay controls and crossfade options keep loops smooth while maintaining detail.
Use it for social posts, tutorials, product demos, or compressing existing GIFs. Batch images, reorder frames, pick a preset, then export. If you need smaller files, lower width or choose "Small File"; if you want pristine detail, go "High Quality" with Floyd or Sierra dithering and zero compression.
Built for creators: free forever, no watermarks, and instant downloads. Try image or video mode, tweak advanced filters if you like, and share your GIF anywhere.
Yes. All exports are free with no watermark or branding, no account required, no premium tier.
No. Processing happens locally in your browser via WebAssembly FFmpeg, so files never leave your device.
Images: JPG, PNG, WebP. Video: MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV. Audio is ignored for GIF output.
Keep total images under ~100MB, videos under ~60 seconds or ~300 frames for smooth processing in most browsers.
Use Social or High Quality presets, lower frame delay (100-140ms) for images, or raise FPS (12-24) for videos.
Choose Small File preset, reduce width, lower FPS, shorten the clip, or pick Medium/Heavy compression (64-128 colors).
Yes. Use the Tutorial preset (2K width, gentle dithering, white padding) or set Floyd/Sierra dithering with light compression.
Presets only adjust settings (width, delay/FPS, loop, dithering, compression, fill). Your originals stay untouched in-memory.
