Video to GIF

Drop any video, phone clips included, and turn a few seconds of it into a looping GIF for chats, docs or social posts.

Your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

From clip to GIF in three steps

1.

Drop a video

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or AVI, up to 500 MB.

2.

Pick the seconds

Choose the start and keep 1 to 60 seconds.

3.

Download the GIF

It loops forever and plays anywhere images do.

When a GIF beats a video

GIFs autoplay and loop everywhere an image works: email, docs, Slack, GitHub, forums. A video needs a player; a GIF doesn't. That makes them the right choice for short reactions, product demos and how-to snippets.

The trade is size and colour. A GIF holds up to 256 colours per frame and no sound, and every frame is stored in full. Keep it short and narrow: a few seconds at 480 pixels wide and 12 frames per second is plenty for most uses.

iPhone videos (MOV) work too. The conversion runs on your device, so even private clips stay private.

Caption your videos in minutes

Animated, word-synced captions in the styles top creators use. Upload a video, pick a style, fix any word, and export.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can I make a GIF from an iPhone video?

Yes. iPhone videos are MOV files, which this accepts.

What frame rate should a GIF be?

10 to 12 frames per second for most clips; 15 to 20 only for fast motion, because it makes the file much bigger.

Will the GIF loop?

Yes, GIFs made here loop forever.

Is my file uploaded?

No. It's processed in your browser, on your own device, and never leaves it.
