Video to GIF

Turn part of an MP4, MOV or WEBM video into an animated GIF.

To share a short moment, turn a few seconds of a video into a GIF. Enter the start and end time, then choose the frame rate and width.

GIF can use at most 256 colours. The tool builds a palette tailored to each video so colours stay as natural as possible. GIFs grow quickly, so 3–6 seconds at 480 px and 12 fps is a good starting point.

How to use

1. Choose the video.
2. Enter the start and end time; choose the frame rate and width.
3. Press "Convert" and download the GIF.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the GIF so big?

GIF is an old, inefficient format. Shortening the clip and lowering the width and frame rate shrink it the most.

Is sound added to the GIF?

No, GIF can’t carry sound.

What can I use instead of GIF?

For a much smaller file with sound, use a short MP4 or WEBM; most social networks play them like GIFs.
