About GIF Maker
Plotlake is a privacy-first animation maker that runs entirely in your browser. Drop JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF from iPhone, or MP4/WebM/MOV files, trim what you need, and generate crisp GIF, Animated WebP, or APNG without uploading to a server. No watermark, no signup, no hidden limits - just fast local processing powered by WebAssembly FFmpeg.
Three simple workflows: Convert format to quickly export GIF, WebP, or APNG. Optimize for platform to auto-tune settings for Twitter, Discord, Slack, Telegram, or Email with recommended output formats. Fine-tune for full control over quality, compression, dithering, and advanced GIF options.
We ship presets tuned for social media platforms: one-click optimization for X (Twitter), Discord (8MB), Slack (5MB), Telegram, and Email (2MB). Choose GIF for universal compatibility, Animated WebP for 60% smaller files, or APNG for lossless PNG quality. Everything is adjustable: dithering, loop count, compression palette sizes, and fill color for padding.
Modern formats supported: drop entire folders to batch import image sequences sorted by filename. HEIC/HEIF photos from iPhone are converted automatically. Output to Animated WebP (smaller than GIF, great quality) or APNG (full PNG quality, best for text/UI) with a single click.
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 encoding stay snappy. For images, per-frame delay controls and crossfade options keep loops smooth while maintaining detail.
Built for creators: free forever, no watermarks, and instant downloads. Try image or video mode, pick a platform preset (Twitter, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Email), tweak advanced filters if you like, and share your animation anywhere.
