Video to GIF Converter

No. This tool runs 100% in your web browser. Your video file never leaves your device — nothing is sent over the network. All frame extraction and GIF encoding happens locally using JavaScript and the Canvas API.

The converter supports MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and OGG video files. MP4 and WebM have the best browser support. If your video format is not supported, try converting it to MP4 first using a free video converter.

The maximum clip duration is 30 seconds. GIF files grow very quickly — a 10-second clip at 10 fps produces 100 frames, which can easily be 5-15 MB. Use the trim controls to select the exact section you want.

Three settings affect file size: width (smaller = smaller file), frame rate (lower fps = fewer frames = smaller), and quality (lower quality = more compression). Start with 480px wide, 10 fps, and medium quality for a good balance.

Yes. Use the start and end time controls or drag the range sliders to select the exact portion of the video you want to convert. The video player lets you preview the selected range before converting.

GIF is an uncompressed format for each frame. A 10-second clip at 15 fps and 640px wide can easily be 20+ MB. To reduce size: shorten the clip, lower the frame rate to 10 fps, reduce the width to 320-480px, or use low quality. For web use, consider using the video format instead — MP4 is typically 10-50x smaller than the equivalent GIF.
