WaffleFrameWhat can you do with a looped video?
A looped video turns a few seconds of footage into minutes of content. Typical uses:
- Ambience videos — a fireplace, rain on a window or ocean waves.
- Stream and event backgrounds — moving visuals behind a host or on a venue screen.
- Shop and trade-fair displays — a product shot that runs all day.
- Music visuals — stretch a short clip to the length of a song.
How to make a seamless loop
The best loops end exactly where they begin: a wave rolling in, a flame flickering, a product rotating 360 degrees. Before looping, trim your clip with the Video Trimmer so the last frame flows into the first. With a good cut, viewers won't notice where one repeat ends and the next begins.
Avoid clips with speech or a clear start and finish — those make the repeat obvious.
Repeat video length and file size
Every repeat adds the full length of your clip: a 10 second clip × 20 repeats = 3 minutes 20 seconds; a 30 second clip × 20 = 10 minutes. The file size grows with it, so for long outputs run the result through the Video Compressor before sharing.
Private looping in your browser
The video looper runs ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly inside your browser. Your clip is never uploaded; it is repeated in your device's memory and saved straight to your downloads. Longer outputs take more time because your own computer does the work.
How long your looped video will be
| Clip length | 5 repeats | 10 repeats | 20 repeats |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 seconds | 25 s | 50 s | 1 min 40 s |
| 10 seconds | 50 s | 1 min 40 s | 3 min 20 s |
| 15 seconds | 1 min 15 s | 2 min 30 s | 5 min |
| 30 seconds | 2 min 30 s | 5 min | 10 min |

Tips for best results
- Pick clips without a clear start or end — motion that repeats naturally loops best.
- Trim off any camera shake at the start and end before looping.
- Keep the source clip short; 5–30 seconds gives the most flexibility.
- Mute or pick clips with steady background sound so the audio loop is smooth.
- Compress long outputs before uploading or sending them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I loop a video for free?
Drop a short clip into the video looper above, choose how many times it should repeat and click Export. Every logged-in account gets 5 free exports per day, reset at midnight Brussels time. The result is a single MP4 without a watermark, created entirely on your own device.
How long can the looped video be?
You can repeat a clip up to 20 times. A 10 second clip becomes 3 minutes 20 seconds, and a 30 second clip becomes 10 minutes. Very long outputs take longer to create because your own device does the processing, so a desktop browser is recommended for big jobs.
Does the audio loop too?
Yes. The sound repeats together with the picture, so music or ambient audio continues for the whole video. If your clip has speech or a sudden sound at the end, the repeat will be noticeable — choose a clip with steady background audio or mute it in an editor first.
Can I make a 10 hour video?
Not in one go — the maximum is 20 repeats per export, which keeps processing manageable inside a browser. Very long videos also produce huge files. For long ambience videos, most platforms let you set a video to repeat on playback, which gives the same result with a much smaller file.
Is my clip uploaded when I loop it?
No. The looping happens inside your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your file is read from your disk, repeated in memory and saved straight back to your downloads. Nothing is sent to a server, so private footage stays private.
Why doesn't my loop look seamless?
A loop is only as smooth as the cut between the last and first frame. If the camera moved or the scene changed, the jump is visible. Trim the clip so it starts and ends on similar frames, or choose naturally repeating motion such as water, fire or a rotating object.
