About Video to GIF Converter
Video to GIF Converter turns a clip from any video your browser can play into an animated GIF. Trim the exact seconds you want, choose the size and frame rate, and download the result. It works with MP4, WebM, MOV and more, with no sign up, no watermark and no email required.
The colours are picked from your own footage rather than from a fixed set, which is what keeps skies, skin tones and gradients looking smooth instead of banded. There is also an option to store only the part of the picture that moves between frames, which cuts the file size dramatically on clips with a still background.
Your video is decoded by your own browser and never uploaded, so even a private recording stays on your device. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is stored.

Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser decodes the video and builds the GIF on your own device. The file never reaches a server, so nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else.
What video formats can I use?
Anything your browser can play, which normally covers MP4 (H.264), WebM and MOV. If a file will not load, it is usually an unusual codec rather than the container, and re-saving it as MP4 will fix it.
Why is there a size limit?
Everything runs in your browser using your device's memory, so the limits keep the page from running out of it. A GIF also grows with frames multiplied by width and height, so the meter shows how close your settings are to a sensible file.
How do I make the GIF smaller?
Lower the resolution first, then the frame rate, then shorten the clip. Leaving the option to store only what moves switched on makes a big difference when the background is still, and a lower quality setting uses fewer colours.
Why does the frame rate change slightly?
GIF stores the delay between frames in hundredths of a second, so only certain frame rates are exact. The tool shows the real frame rate you will get and captures the frames to match, so the GIF plays at true speed.
Is Video to GIF Converter free to use?
Yes, Video to GIF Converter is completely free with no usage limits, no watermarks and no sign-up required.
