Video to GIF
Turn a part of an MP4, MOV or WebM video into an animated GIF in your browser: pick start and end, frame rate, width and colours. No upload.
Turn a moment from a video into an animated GIF that plays everywhere: in chats, emails, documentation, slides, forums and README files. Open an MP4, MOV or WebM video, play it, set where the GIF should start and end (up to 30 seconds), and choose how smooth and how large it should be. The GIF is made in seconds and you can preview it before downloading.
The video is decoded by your browser's own media engine and the GIF is built on your device with gifenc, an open-source GIF encoder, so your video is never uploaded. There is no watermark, no account and no daily limit.
How to use Video to GIF
- Choose or drop a video (MP4, MOV or WebM).
- Play it and set Start and End — the GIF can be up to 30 seconds long.
- Choose the frames per second (5–20), the width (240–640 pixels), the colours and whether it loops.
- Press Make GIF, check the preview and download it.
Features
- Converts MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM and MKV videos.
- Pick the exact part with Start and End and the built-in player.
- 5, 10, 15 or 20 frames per second, with exact timing.
- Widths of 240, 320, 480 or 640 pixels; the shape of the video is kept.
- Best colours (a palette for every frame) or a smaller file (one shared palette).
- Loop forever or play once.
- Shows the number of frames and an estimated size before you start.
- Runs in your browser: no upload, no watermark, no sign-up.
Getting a small GIF
GIF is an old format that stores every frame as a picture with at most 256 colours, so animated GIFs are much larger than the video they come from. Three settings control the size: the length of the part, the frames per second and the width. Halving the width makes the GIF about four times smaller; going from 20 to 10 frames per second halves it. The tool shows the number of frames and a rough size for camera video before you start; screen recordings and flat graphics compress far better than that.
| Use | Suggested settings | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Chat reaction, meme | 240–320 px, 10 fps, 2–4 s | Small enough to send and load instantly |
| Product or app demo | 480 px, 10–15 fps | Readable details, smooth enough movement |
| Documentation, README | 480–640 px, 5–10 fps, shared palette | Clear text, flat colours compress well |
| Smooth motion clip | 320–480 px, 20 fps, short part | Fluid movement, keep it short to stay small |
Colours: best or smaller
Each GIF frame can use only 256 colours, picked from the millions in a video frame. Best (per frame) chooses the 256 colours that fit each frame, which gives the most faithful picture, especially when the scene changes. Smaller (shared) chooses one set of colours for the whole GIF from frames spread over the part: the file is usually smaller and colours don't flicker between frames, which suits screen recordings, animations and clips where the scene stays the same.
Frame rate and timing
Videos usually have 25 to 60 frames per second; a GIF looks smooth from about 10 to 15. GIF stores the time between frames in hundredths of a second, so 15 fps can't be stored exactly as 6.67 hundredths per frame. This tool alternates frames of 60 and 70 milliseconds so the GIF plays at exactly the speed of the video instead of slowing down, a detail many converters get wrong. Loop forever is the usual choice; turn it off for animations that should play once and stop at the last frame.
Privacy and supported browsers
Your video is read directly from your device and decoded with WebCodecs, the media engine built into modern browsers, so it is never uploaded. This works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Some iPhone videos are recorded in H.265 (HEVC), which browsers on Windows can only decode with Microsoft's HEVC Video Extensions; the tool explains this if it happens. Every file is checked by its content, so audio files or pictures renamed to .mp4 are refused with a clear message.
Frequently asked questions
Is the video to GIF converter free?
Yes. It is free, with no watermark, no account and no limit on the number of GIFs.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The GIF is made in your browser and the video never leaves your device.
How long can the GIF be?
Up to 30 seconds. Shorter parts make smaller GIFs that load faster, so a few seconds is usually best.
How do I make my GIF smaller?
Choose a smaller width, fewer frames per second or a shorter part, and try the Smaller (shared) colours option.
Can I make a GIF from an iPhone video?
Yes. iPhone videos in H.264 work everywhere; H.265 (HEVC) videos work in Safari and on Windows with Microsoft's HEVC Video Extensions installed.
Why does my GIF look grainy or banded?
GIF can show only 256 colours per frame, so smooth gradients may show bands. Choose Best (per frame) colours for the most faithful result.
Does the GIF have sound?
No. The GIF format can't store sound. Use MP4 to MP3 to keep the audio separately.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, in current mobile browsers. Long parts at high frame rates take a little longer on a phone.
