How It Works
This free online video to GIF converter processes your video entirely in your browser — no upload is ever sent to a server.
-
1. Choose your video
Click the upload area or drag and drop any MP4, WebM, or MOV file. It loads instantly into the tool — nothing leaves your computer.
-
2. Trim and adjust settings
Use the start and end time sliders to pick the clip you want (up to 15 seconds). Raise the frame rate for smoother motion or lower it for a smaller file. Set the output width to match where you plan to use the GIF.
-
3. Convert in your browser
Hit Convert to GIF and your browser works through each frame — drawing it to a canvas element, capturing the colours, and packing them into an animated GIF. No waiting for an upload to finish, just instant local processing.
-
4. Preview and download
The finished GIF plays right on screen so you can check it before saving. Click Download GIF and the file goes straight to your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your video is never sent to or stored on any server.
What video formats are supported?
MP4, WebM, and MOV are supported. MP4 (H.264) works on all modern browsers. WebM works on Chrome, Firefox and Edge. MOV support depends on your operating system and browser.
How long can my clip be?
Up to 15 seconds per conversion. Use the start and end time sliders to select any portion of a longer video. Keeping clips short also keeps GIF file sizes manageable.
How do I reduce the GIF file size?
Lower the frame rate (try 5–8 fps), reduce the output width (try 320px), and trim the clip to the shortest useful duration. Each change reduces the number of frames and pixels the encoder has to process.
Is this tool really free?
Yes, completely free. No account required, no watermarks, and no hidden fees.
