About Video to GIF
Convert a video to an animated GIF in your browser.
It works in your browser, so it is instant and private, and your details are remembered on this device.
Good for
- Reactions and memes for chats and social media
- Product demos, tutorials and bug reports
- Website banners, emails and presentations
Tip: GIFs grow quickly with length, size and frame rate — 3–6 seconds at 10–15 fps and 480 px wide is the sweet spot for chat apps.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a video to GIF?
Open the video, drag the trim handles (or type the start and end), pick a frame rate and width, then click Create GIF and download. You can also crop, add text and edit single frames before you create it.
Which video formats can I use?
MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V and 3GP open instantly; AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV and other formats are converted in your browser with FFmpeg first (a one-time 32 MB download).
How do I make the GIF smaller?
Use a smaller width (320–480 px is plenty for chats), a lower frame rate (10–12 fps), fewer colours (64–128) and some lossy compression — or type a size under “Fit under a file size” and the settings are found for you. Shorter clips make the biggest difference.
Can I add text or a caption?
Yes — open the Text tab: meme text (top and bottom), any number of captions with font, size, colour, outline and shadow, dragged into place on the preview and shown on all frames or only some.
Can I save as MP4, WebM, WebP or APNG instead?
Yes. The Export tab makes GIF, MP4 (H.264), WebM, animated WebP and APNG from the same edit — MP4 and WebP are usually many times smaller than a GIF.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Frames are read from the video by your browser and the GIF is encoded on your device, so even private clips stay private. Formats the browser cannot play are converted with FFmpeg running in the page.
