About Video to GIF
Video to GIF converts a short clip into a looping animated GIF, entirely in your
browser. By default it runs a two-pass render — first it studies the clip's colours to build an
optimised palette, then it maps every frame to that palette — which gives noticeably cleaner
results than a quick single-pass conversion. It all happens on your device, with nothing
uploaded. Larger files take a little longer, and you can cancel anytime. Because GIFs store every
frame as its own image they get large quickly, so a short clip at a modest width and a lower
frame rate keeps the file manageable.
🔒
Private by design. Your video is read and turned into a GIF right here in your browser — never uploaded, never seen by us. Nothing you add is ever uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which video formats can I turn into a GIF?▼
You can drop in common video files like MP4, WEBM, MOV, MKV and AVI — one clip at a time.
Why is my GIF file so large?▼
GIFs store every frame as its own image, so they grow quickly. To keep the file small, use a short clip, a modest width, and a lower frame rate — around 10–15 fps is a good balance.
What do the frame rate and width settings do?▼
Frame rate controls smoothness — higher looks smoother but makes a bigger file. Width sets the size in pixels, and the height adjusts automatically to keep the original proportions.
Can I make a GIF from just part of a video?▼
Yes. Turn on Trim to a section and set a start and end time to capture only the part you want. Clips need to be about 30 seconds or shorter.
What is the 'faster, lower quality' option?▼
By default the tool studies the clip's colours first to produce a cleaner-looking GIF. The faster option skips that step, so it finishes quicker but the colours may look a little rougher.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?▼
No. Your video never leaves your device — the GIF is created entirely in your browser, and nothing is uploaded to any server.
