Video to GIF Converter
Turn any video clip into a looping GIF, free in your browser. Pick the moment, the size and the frame rate, see the file size before you make it, and download. Nothing is uploaded.
GIFs get big fast: 3–6 seconds at 480 px and 12 fps is the sweet spot for chats and forums. The first 5 seconds are selected to start you off — drag the handles, or play the video and press “Start here” and “End here”.

FAQ
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video is processed inside your browser on your own device and never sent anywhere — so it’s fast to start and safe for private clips.
How long can the GIF be?
Up to 30 seconds — but shorter is better. A 5-second, 480-pixel GIF at 12 fps is usually a few megabytes.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is an old format with weak compression. Reduce the width, frame rate or length, or use 64 colours.
Can I make a slow-motion GIF?
Yes — set Speed to 0.5×.
Does the GIF have sound?
No. GIFs can’t contain audio. If you need sound, compress the clip as an MP4 instead.
Which browser works best?
Chrome or Edge on a computer are fastest, because they use your graphics card to encode video. Safari works for most files; phones work for shorter clips.
Is it free?
Yes — free, no sign-up and no watermark. The site is supported by the ads on the page.
