Video to GIF
Turn a short video clip into an animated GIF — pick the size and frame rate, then download. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
GIFs work best short and small — trim first with the Video Trimmer for a snappier, smaller file. Long clips are capped to keep the GIF manageable.
The Video to GIF tool turns a short clip into an animated GIF you can share anywhere — right in your browser, with no upload, no watermark, and no software to install.
GIFs are perfect for reactions, demos, and looping moments that don't need sound. Drop in a clip, choose a width and frame rate, and the tool grabs the frames, builds an optimised colour palette for each one, and encodes a GIF locally. People use it to:
- Make a reaction or meme GIF from a favourite moment
- Show a quick product or app demo that autoplays in chat and docs
- Turn a looping animation or highlight into a shareable GIF
- Create a silent preview for places where video won't autoplay
Because GIF stores every frame as a full image, file size grows fast — so keep clips short and the width modest (320 pixels at 10 frames per second is a good starting point). For the best result, trim to just the moment you want first, then convert.
- Upload a video with the file picker or drag it onto the drop zone.
- Pick a width and a frame rate — smaller and slower makes a smaller file.
- Check the estimated frame count, then click Create GIF.
- Wait while each frame is encoded.
- Preview the looping GIF and click Download GIF.
No. The GIF is encoded entirely in your browser, so the video never leaves your device.
GIF is an old format that stores every frame as an image, so file size grows quickly with length, size, and frame rate. For a small, shareable GIF, trim to a few seconds and use a width around 320 pixels at 10 frames per second.
Trim the clip first with the Video Trimmer, then bring the trimmed clip here. This tool converts the whole clip you give it, up to a frame limit.
No. The GIF format does not support audio — GIFs are always silent. If you need sound, keep the video or extract the audio separately.
More frames per second means more images stored in the GIF. 10 to 12 frames per second usually looks smooth enough while keeping the file reasonable.
