About this tool
Convert a video into an animated GIF online: choose an MP4, MOV or WebM file, pick a clip of up to 30 seconds and set width, frame rate and colors. The video is decoded on your device with the browser’s built-in decoder and never uploaded, which suits reaction GIFs, how-to demos and product loops.
Typical uses
- Turn a funny phone clip into a reaction GIF
- Convert a software screen recording into a GIF for docs or tickets
- Create a short product loop for a listing page
How to use
Choose an MP4, MOV, WebM or other video. While it plays, use “Use current” to set the start and end, up to 30 seconds.
Choose width, frame rate, colors and looping, click Create GIF, preview it and download. If it is too large, lower the width or frame rate.
Up to 30 seconds, 600 frames and 800 px wide. Requires WebCodecs decoding in a recent Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox; some browsers cannot decode HEVC/H.265. GIF has only 256 colors, so photos and gradients may show banding.
Frequently asked questions
What if the GIF is too large?
Lowering the width (for example 320 px), frame rate (for example 8 fps) or colors reduces size a lot. You can also run the result through the GIF compressor.
Why can some videos not be read?
Reading relies on the browser’s WebCodecs decoders. Some browsers cannot decode HEVC/H.265 video (common from iPhones); try Safari or convert to H.264 MP4 first.
Does a GIF have sound?
No. The GIF format has no audio, so only the picture is kept. For a short clip with sound, export an MP4 with the video compressor.
