★ Video to GIF
Free online video to GIF converter
Turn the start of any video into a looping animated GIF — converted entirely in your browser, with no upload.
Upload a video (MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV…)
Want a reaction GIF or a short looping demo? Upload a video, choose the width, frame rate and length, and the tool builds an optimised GIF with a proper colour palette so it looks far better than a naive conversion.
It all happens on your own device with WebAssembly, so your video stays private and there is no waiting for an upload. GIFs are always silent and the file size grows fast, so a shorter, smaller GIF is usually the better choice.
Why use this GIF maker?
Good-looking GIFs
A custom colour palette is generated for each clip, giving smoother colours than a basic conversion.
You control the size
Pick 320, 480 or 640 px wide, 8–15 frames per second and 3–10 seconds to balance quality against file size.
Private and instant to start
No upload, no account and no server limits — the video never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF so large?
The GIF format is inefficient for video. For a smaller file, choose a narrower width, a lower frame rate or a shorter length.
Does the GIF have sound?
No. The GIF format cannot contain audio.
Can I pick which part of the video to use?
This tool takes the first seconds of the video. To use a different part, cut it first with the trim tool, then convert that clip.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely on your device using WebAssembly.
