In the dialog that opens, GIF is the output format; selecting a lower resolution such as 360p or 480p is recommended to keep the file small.

3

Hit Convert to start building the GIF.

4

The progress percentage is shown over a preview while your browser does the work.

5

The finished GIF downloads automatically when encoding is done.

About this tool

Animated GIFs remain the easiest way to share a moving image where video embeds are awkward: chat threads, README files, bug reports, documentation, and social posts. This tool takes a video clip in formats like MP4, MOV, WebM, or AVI and turns it into an animated GIF that loops automatically and plays everywhere without a video player.

Typical uses include capturing a few seconds of screen recording to show a bug reproducing, turning a funny moment into a reaction meme, or creating a short looping demo of a feature for a product page or GitHub README. Because GIFs autoplay silently, they get the point across the instant someone sees them.

100% private

The clip you pick stays private from start to finish. Frame extraction and GIF assembly happen locally through FFmpeg running as WebAssembly in your browser, with zero uploading involved.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my GIF so much larger than the original video?

GIF is a very old format that stores each frame with a limited 256-color palette and lacks the smart inter-frame compression that video codecs use. As a result, even a short clip can produce a surprisingly heavy file.

How do I keep the GIF file size down?

Use a short clip, ideally just a few seconds, and pick a lower resolution like 360p or 480p in the options dialog. Fewer pixels and fewer frames are the two biggest levers for a smaller GIF.

Does the GIF include the audio from my video?

No. The GIF format has no support for sound, so any audio track in the source video is discarded during conversion. If you need the sound, use the extract audio tool separately.
