Video to GIF Converter

Cut the best few seconds out of a video and turn them into a looping GIF for chats, docs, tutorials and social posts.

Your files are processed in this browser tab and never leave your device.

GIFs play automatically, loop forever and work almost everywhere a picture works — Slack, GitHub, email, Notion, forums and slide decks — without a play button or sound. That makes them the easiest way to show a quick reaction, a product interaction or a bug reproduction.

Pick a video, set the start and end time, and choose a frame rate and width. The tool reads frames from the video inside your browser and builds the GIF with a palette shared across the whole clip, so colors stay steady instead of flickering from frame to frame.

Because nothing is uploaded, screen recordings that show private work stay on your device, and there is no waiting in a server queue.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Choose a video

    Drop an MP4, MOV or WebM file onto the box. Phone recordings and screen captures both work.

  2. 2

    Trim and set options

    Move the start and end sliders to choose up to 15 seconds. 10 fps and 480 px wide suit most uses.

  3. 3

    Make and download

    Click Make GIF, preview the result, then download it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a GIF smaller?

Shorten the clip, lower the frame rate to 5–10 fps, or choose a smaller width. File size grows with the number of frames and the number of pixels per frame, so halving the width makes the GIF roughly four times smaller.

What video formats can I convert to GIF?

Any format your browser can play: MP4 (H.264) and WebM work everywhere, and MOV from iPhone works in Safari and most Chrome builds. If a file won't open, export or record it as MP4 first.

Why is there a 15 second limit?

GIF is an old, uncompressed-by-modern-standards format. Longer clips quickly produce files of tens of megabytes that chat apps reject and phones struggle to build. For longer moments, share the video itself.

Does the GIF include sound?

No. The GIF format has no audio track. If sound matters, keep the clip as a video file.
