Video to GIF Converter

Turn a clip of any video into a looping GIF for a post, a reply or a sticker. The converter below starts on GIF for social and runs in your browser, so the video is never uploaded.

Drop videos, sounds or pictures here, or

Up to 20 files, 1 GB each. Nothing is uploaded: every file is converted on this device.

Make a GIF from a video

  1. Press Choose files and pick your video: MP4, MOV, WebM and most others work.
  2. The preset is GIF for social: 480 px wide, 12 frames a second, with a shared palette. For a chat sticker, choose GIF sticker: 320 px and 10 frames a second, small enough to send.
  3. To keep only part of the video, set Start (seconds) and End (seconds).
  4. Press the Convert button and download the GIF when it is ready.

Questions

Is the GIF converter free?
Yes. There is no watermark, no account to make and no quota.
Is my video uploaded?
No. FFmpeg, the converter, runs in your browser on this device, so the video never leaves it.
Why is my GIF so large?
A GIF stores every frame as a picture, so long or wide clips grow fast. Keep it to a few seconds, or choose GIF sticker for a smaller file.
Does a GIF have sound?
No. A GIF is a looping animation without sound. For a short clip with sound, convert it to MP4 instead.
