WHAT YOU CONTROL

How to Get a Good GIF From a Video

Pick Just the Moment You Need

Set the start and end, or play the video and press "Use current time". A few seconds is usually all a GIF needs.

Size Follows Frame Rate and Width

A GIF stores every frame as an image, so fewer frames per second, a shorter clip and a narrower width all make a smaller file. A clip can have up to 300 frames.

Nothing Leaves Your Browser

The video is decoded and the GIF is built on your device. You can use the result right away or compress it further.

FAQ

How do I convert an MP4 to a GIF?

Choose your video, set the start and end, the frame rate and the width, then press "Convert to GIF" and download the result. GIF files cannot carry sound, so the audio is dropped.

Which video formats work?

Any video your browser can play. MP4 (H.264) and WebM usually work. Some formats, such as MOV or AVI, depend on the codecs your browser supports, and you will see a message if one cannot be played.

Why is my GIF so large, and how do I shrink it?

GIF is not an efficient video format. Lower the frames per second, shorten the clip or pick a narrower width. You can also run the result through the GIF compressor to set a target size.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the video never leaves your device.
