Video to GIF Converter: Turn a Clip into a Looping GIF

Make a reaction GIF, a product demo loop or a short tutorial animation from any video. Pick where it starts and how long it lasts (up to 30 seconds), the width and the smoothness. A colour palette is built for your clip, so the GIF looks clean instead of blotchy.

Questions

Why does the first conversion take longer?

The video engine (ffmpeg, about 31 MB) downloads once when you start the first job; your browser keeps it for next time. After that, only your own device does the work: nothing is uploaded.

How do I keep the GIF small?

GIF files grow quickly. Keep clips under 6 seconds, use 320 px width and 12 fps or less for messaging apps.

Is there sound in a GIF?

No, GIFs never have sound. Use Trim Video for a short clip with sound.

Is there a file size limit?

Everything happens in your browser’s memory, so very large files (over about 1 GB) may not fit, especially on phones. Trim or compress long recordings first; a computer handles bigger files than a phone.

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.

Is it free?

Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
