Why convert LRV to GIF?
LRV is the low-resolution proxy video that GoPro and other action cameras record alongside each full-quality clip, for fast previews on phones and in apps. The opening frame of the clip is captured at the proxy's own resolution and saved as one still image.
GIF stores the image with an optimised palette of up to 256 colours, which suits text, diagrams and flat colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert LRV to GIF?
Drop your LRV file above and press Convert. Our servers read the LRV clip with FFmpeg, capture its first frame as a high-quality JPG, then encode that frame in the format you chose. The result is saved as a GIF image, ready to download.
Which moment of the LRV clip is saved in the GIF?
The first frame, the moment recording started. FFmpeg takes it from the clip's video track and saves it as a single still.
How does a LRV file relate to the full-quality clip it was recorded with, for the GIF?
An LRV is a lighter copy of the same recording in an MP4-style container, so the GIF shows the same opening scene as the full-quality clip, at the proxy's resolution.
How big is the GIF image from a LRV file?
The GIF is the first frame of the preview clip at the clip's own resolution.
How are colours handled in the LRV to GIF image?
GIF uses a palette of up to 256 colours. The converter builds an optimised palette from the rendered image, which keeps text, lines and solid colours clean.
Is my .lrv file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
