How to convert a video to GIF

Drag in or choose an MP4, WebM, or MOV. It loads straight into the player, not a server.
Trim And Set Options
Drag the start and end to pick the clip, then choose the frame rate and width.
Convert And Download
Click Convert to GIF, watch the progress, then download your animated GIF.
Make A GIF From Any Video Clip
A short looping GIF is the quickest way to show something in motion, a reaction, a quick demo of a feature, a highlight from a clip. The trouble is most video to GIF sites make you upload your file and wait, or they slap a watermark on the result. This converter does the whole job in your browser, so your video never leaves your device and there is no watermark.
Load a video, then drag the start and end handles to grab just the part you want. Pick a frame rate, 10 fps is a good default, and a width to keep the file size reasonable. When you convert, the tool steps through the clip frame by frame, builds the animated GIF, and shows you the result with its file size so you can decide if you want it smaller. The GIF loops on its own and is ready to share.
It is handy for product demos, support replies, tutorials, social posts, and README files on a repo. Because everything runs locally, there are no upload limits or queues, and short clips stay private. For the best file size, keep the clip short and the width modest, since GIFs grow quickly with length and resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about converting video to GIF.
How do I convert a video to a GIF?
Upload an MP4, WebM, or MOV, drag the start and end handles to choose the clip, then set the frame rate and width and click Convert to GIF. The tool captures the frames and builds the animated GIF in your browser, then gives you a download with the file size shown.
Is there a length limit?
There is no hard time limit, but GIFs grow fast with length, frame rate, and size, so the tool caps the number of frames it captures to keep things quick and avoid running your browser out of memory. For a smooth, small GIF, keep the clip to a few seconds and the width modest.
Why is my GIF file so large?
GIF is an old format with no real compression for video, so a few seconds at high frame rate and full size can be several megabytes. To shrink it, trim a shorter clip, drop the frame rate to 5 or 10 fps, and pick a smaller width like 240 or 320 pixels.
What video formats can I use?
Any video your browser can play will work, which usually means MP4, WebM, and MOV. The video is decoded by the browser and frames are captured from it, so if it plays in the preview, it can be turned into a GIF.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video is loaded and converted entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on a server, and there is no signup, so short personal or work clips stay private.
Is the video to GIF converter free?
Yes, it is completely free with no watermark and no signup. Convert as many clips to GIF as you need.
