Media Tools – Free Online Video, Audio & GIF Utilities

What's in this category?

Media Tools focuses on the routine audio and video jobs that usually mean opening a heavy desktop app or uploading footage to a sketchy online service. The Video to MP3 / Trim tool extracts audio from any MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV video as a 192 kbps MP3, and can also trim a video to a specific start and end time using FFmpeg's lossless stream copy — useful for podcast editors, students saving lectures for the commute, content creators clipping raw footage, and anyone who wants the audio version of a video they already own.

The GIF Maker turns a short video clip into a looping animated GIF with adjustable size, frame rate and start/end times. It's the easiest way to grab a few seconds of footage from a recorded screen capture, build a quick reaction GIF for chat, share a UI bug as part of a Jira ticket, or post a teaser on social platforms that don't accept native video.

Both tools rely on the same WebAssembly build of FFmpeg — the open-source video engine that powers VLC, Handbrake and most professional video pipelines. The FFmpeg core binary downloads once on first use (~30 MB) and is then cached in the browser so subsequent runs start instantly. There is no upload, no rate limit, and no watermark, which makes the tools well suited to private clips like UI bug captures, family recordings, or pre-launch product footage.

Use these tools alongside the Image Tools for still-image jobs (compression, resizing, background removal, OCR), or pair them with the PDF Tools to assemble a multimedia deliverable. For longer-running professional video work — heavy effects, multi-track editing, frame-accurate cuts requiring re-encoding — a desktop tool like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere is still the right choice. For everyday audio extraction and quick GIF creation, this category gets the job done in one tab.
