How to convert a video to a GIF

  1. Click Select videos or drop one or more MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, MKV, or similar files onto the page.
  2. Set the Start time and Clip length to trim the section you want.
  3. Choose the Frames per second and Target width, and keep Loop continuously on.
  4. Click Create GIFs and download your finished animation or batch.

Keep the GIF small and sharp

A short clip makes the best GIF, so trimming down to a few seconds keeps the file light and quick to convert. Lower frames per second and a smaller target width shrink the result further, which matters because GIFs grow large fast. Once it is exported you can keep working on the GIF with the rest of the GIF tools instead of starting over somewhere else.

Frequently asked questions

Which video formats are supported?

MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, MKV, and other common video files all work as the source clip.

How do I keep the GIF file small?

Trim to a short clip, lower the frames per second, and reduce the target width. Each of those keeps the GIF lighter.

Is it free, and is there a watermark?

It is completely free with no watermark and no sign-up required.

Is my video kept on a server?

No. Your video is sent over an encrypted connection for processing. The request upload is removed after conversion, and the temporary GIF expires within 30 minutes.
