Retro Animation Converter
Convert FLI/FLC, Amiga ANIM and IFF, Deluxe Paint ANM, CDXL, MNG and Smush animations to GIF, APNG, WebP or MP4.
Free, no uploads, no sign-up. Runs 100% in your browser.
How Retro Animation Converter works
Retro formats are decoded with the FLIC, IFF, ANM and CDXL decoders inside ffmpeg.wasm; MNG uses ImageMagick compiled to WebAssembly (about 15 MB on first use). Video work runs in ffmpeg.wasm, the FFmpeg toolkit compiled to WebAssembly (GPL build, loaded as a separate engine file of about 30 MB the first time, then cached).
Input: FLI, FLC, ANIM, IFF, ANM, CDXL, MNG. Output: GIF, APNG, WEBP, MP4.
How to use Retro Animation Converter
- Drop one or more images onto Retro Animation Converter.
- Tune the options. The before/after preview updates live.
- Process the batch.
- Download a single image, or everything as a ZIP.
Tips
- Most image tools accept many files at once.
- WebP and AVIF give much smaller files than JPG at the same visual quality.
- Set a default image quality in Settings. Tools that do not choose their own quality use it.
Retro Animation Converter FAQ
- What about BPG and FLIF?
- Those need decoders that are not available for the browser yet.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.
- Is it free? Are there limits or watermarks?
- Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.
