Choose the moment, set the frame rate and size, and download a looping GIF. It all runs in your browser, so the video never leaves your computer.
Play or scrub the video, then use the buttons to mark the start and end.
GIFs get big fast. 480 px wide at 12 fps is a good balance. Keep clips short: a few seconds is ideal.
Drop in an MP4, MOV or WebM. It opens in your browser, not on a server.
Scrub to the start and end, then choose the frame rate and width.
We grab each frame, build the GIF and give you the file.
Good to know. There’s a 600 frame cap, which is 50 seconds at 12 fps, because longer GIFs get huge and slow every browser down. If your browser can’t play a file (some iPhone HEVC clips on Windows), it can’t turn it into a GIF either. Convert it to a standard MP4 first.
No. The frames are read and the GIF is built inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
10 to 15 fps looks smooth for most clips. Go lower for smaller files, higher for fast motion. Every extra frame adds to the size.
GIFs store every frame as a picture with up to 256 colours, so they don’t compress like video. Make it narrower, shorter or lower the frame rate, or run it through our GIF optimiser.
No. GIFs can’t hold sound. If you need sound, keep it as a video and use our trim tool instead.
