Hi @Matteo_Raggi!

We are currently using videoconverter.js, which uses a version of FFmpeg compiled to js using Emscripten.

Animated GIFs are rendered using gif.js.

Everything is rendered client-side! Pretty cool yeah? :sunglasses:

@Matteo_Raggi, We’ll be adding webm next! We have a prototype that can export webm’s without sound, and are in the process of adding sound to them.

Why webm? is not APNG better quality (less used space and more compatibility with browsers) if without sound?

@Matteo_Raggi, we actually just recently updated our video export. to a new version of ffmpeg.js. We’re still considering different output types, but are looking for some that work with both image and sound! we believe .webm is a good format since it can work on all operating systems natively in the browser and have both sound and image!
