Plotlake

What Plotlake is

Plotlake is a browser-based tool for turning images and videos into GIF, Animated WebP, APNG or MP4 files. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC/HEIF images, along with videos in MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI and MKV formats. Editing controls let you adjust frame delay, loop count, compression, dithering, palette size and padding color. You can also start with Social, High Quality, Tutorial or Small File presets, with optimization options for X, Discord, Slack, Telegram and Email. For image sequences, folders can be imported and sorted by filename. The maker says files are processed in the browser and are not uploaded to a server. The Free plan costs nothing, requires no signup, and exports without a watermark or branding. The maker describes the tool as free forever, with no premium tier, trial, hidden fees or paywall. Stated limits are 100 MB per input, videos up to 60 seconds and a maximum of 300 frames. The first video conversion downloads a roughly 30 MB FFmpeg core, which the page says is cached afterward. The maker describes Plotlake as built for creators, including people making animations for social media, tutorials and sharing.
