Video to GIF

Turn a few seconds of video into a looping GIF, with the frame rate and width under your control and the whole thing built in your browser.

Builds a custom colour palette per clip, which makes the GIF both smaller and better looking.

Quick tips

GIF tips

  • Keep it under about 10 seconds — GIFs get heavy fast.

  • 480px wide at 15 fps is a good balance for most screen recordings.

  • Drop to 10 fps before dropping the width if the file is too big.

FAQ

Video to GIF questions

Why is my GIF so large?

GIFs store every frame with little compression. Lower the width, the frame rate, or the clip length — the estimate updates as you do.

Does the GIF loop?

Yes, GIFs are set to loop forever by default.

Will it keep the audio?

No. The GIF format has no audio. Use To audio if you need the sound as a separate file.
