Video to GIF converter
Updated Nothing is uploaded
Turn a short clip from your phone or screen recording into a GIF. Choose the start and end (up to 15 seconds), the frame rate and width, and convert — the video is processed on your device, not uploaded.
How to convert a video to GIF
- Choose an MP4, MOV or WebM video.
- Play to the moment you want and press 'Set to current' for start and end (or type seconds).
- Pick a frame rate (10 fps is a good default), width and speed.
- Press Convert to GIF, preview and download.
How big will my GIF be?
Frames = seconds × fps. A 5-second clip at 10 fps is 50 frames; at 480 × 270 px that is about 6.5 million pixels to encode. GIFs from video usually land between 1 and 10 MB. To shrink one, lower the width first, then the frame rate, then the clip length.
| Clip | fps | Frames | Typical size at 480 px |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 s | 10 | 30 | 1–3 MB |
| 5 s | 10 | 50 | 2–5 MB |
| 5 s | 15 | 75 | 3–8 MB |
| 10 s | 10 | 100 | 4–10 MB |
Supported videos
Anything your browser can play works: MP4 (H.264) and WebM everywhere, MOV from iPhones in Safari and most Chromium browsers. HEVC (H.265) videos may not play in every browser — if one fails, try Safari or export the clip as H.264.
Private by design
Everything runs in your browser — your images and videos are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the clip limited to 15 seconds?
Long GIFs get huge (often 20+ MB) and memory-hungry on phones. For longer clips, a short MP4 is a better format.
Is the sound kept?
No — GIF has no audio.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Frames are read from the video in your browser and encoded locally.
What frame rate should I use?
10–12 fps looks smooth enough for most reaction GIFs and keeps files small. Use 15–20 fps for fast motion.
