About This Tool

Animated GIFs are perfect for sharing short clips on social media, in chat messages, and on websites. Our free video to gif converter lets you extract a portion of any video and turn it into a compact animated GIF.

You have full control over the output: choose the start time, set the clip duration (up to 30 seconds), adjust the width for the right file size, and dial in the frame rate for smooth or lightweight playback. Higher FPS and wider frames produce smoother GIFs but larger files.

Everything runs in your browser via FFmpeg.wasm — no uploads, no server processing, no account required. Your videos remain private at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tool accepts MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, WebM, and most other common video formats.

GIF files can be large because the format uses lossless frame-by-frame encoding. To reduce file size, try lowering the width, FPS, or duration. A 320px wide, 10 FPS, 5-second clip typically produces a manageable file.

10-15 FPS works well for most purposes. Higher FPS (20-30) produces smoother animation but much larger files. Lower FPS (5-10) creates a choppier look but very small files.

The tool supports clips up to 30 seconds. Longer GIFs become extremely large and are better served as short video files instead.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.
