Video to GIF

Clip in. GIF out.

Pick a short part of a video and turn it into an animated GIF. Set the size, speed and frame rate, add a caption, and download. There is no watermark and no upload. The video never leaves your device.

Drop a video here, or click to chooseMP4, WebM or MOV. What plays depends on your browser.

How it works

1. Add a video

Drop a clip. Set the start and end, or press play and use the current time.

2. Choose size and speed

Smaller width and fewer frames make a smaller GIF.

3. Make and download

The GIF is made on your device. Larger clips take longer. No watermark.

Questions

Is my video uploaded?

No. The video is played and turned into frames in this page on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Is there a watermark?

No.

Why is my GIF so big?

GIF is an old format with no real video compression. Every frame is stored almost on its own. Make it smaller by using a smaller width, fewer frames per second, fewer colours and a shorter clip. A few seconds at 480 px wide is a good start. For long clips, a short MP4 is much smaller than a GIF.

Which videos can I use?

Whatever your browser can play. Chrome and Edge play MP4 (H.264), WebM and many MOV files. Safari and Firefox differ. If the video will not load, try another browser, or shrink it with the Video Compressor first.

What does it not do?

No sound (GIFs have none), no freehand cropping, no stickers or effects, and no video output. Crop presets are centred, not draggable. The smaller-file option approximates colour changes within 8 levels and is not lossless; it can be larger for some clips. Colours are limited to 256 per frame by the GIF format, so gradients can show banding. The free page accepts source clips up to 8 seconds. Speed and forward-backward playback can lengthen output. Each conversion allows 600 sampled frames and a 90 million pixel-frame memory budget.
