Turn a short video clip (MP4, WebM, MOV or AVI) into an animated GIF you can drop into chats, docs, issues and social posts. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using a built-in video engine — your video is never uploaded. The first run downloads the engine once, then it’s cached for instant reuse.

GIF vs video
GIFs play automatically, loop and embed almost anywhere without a player, which is why they’re perfect for short reactions and demos. The trade-off is size: GIF is an old format, so for clips longer than a few seconds an actual video file will be far smaller and sharper. Keep GIFs short for the best results.
Settings that control size and quality
- Frame rate (fps): higher is smoother but larger. 10–15 fps is plenty for most clips.
- Width: smaller dimensions mean dramatically smaller files. 480px is a good default.
- Length: trim to the key moment — every extra second adds a lot of frames.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Video to GIF runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, which makes it private and fast.
Is Video to GIF free?
Yes, Video to GIF is completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no daily limits.
Which formats can I use?
Video to GIF accepts MP4, WebM, MOV and AVI. You can drop multiple files at once for batch processing.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is an inefficient format for video. Reduce the width, lower the frame rate and keep the clip short to bring the size down. For long clips, a real video file is much smaller.
Is there a length limit?
There’s no hard limit, but GIFs grow quickly with length and resolution — short clips give the best size and quality.
What frame rate should I use for a GIF?
10–15 fps is the sweet spot for most clips — smooth enough to look good while keeping the file small. Higher frame rates look smoother but grow the GIF quickly.
Can I use the GIF on Slack, Discord and social media?
Yes. The exported GIF plays and loops automatically anywhere — Slack, Discord, Reddit, X and docs. Keep the width near 480px to stay under common upload size limits.
