How to convert video to GIF
Upload the video, choose a width from 32 to 640 pixels and a frame rate from 5 to 30 FPS, then select how many source frames to sample. Start the conversion and preview the silent animation before downloading it.

Video to GIF converter
Use the GIF settings to control animation smoothness and output size before downloading the converted image.
- Turn MP4, MOV, WebM, and other video clips into animated GIFs.
- Adjust GIF frame rate and width to balance smooth playback with file size.
- Preview the converted GIF in your browser before downloading it.
Balance smoothness and file size
Higher frame rates retain more motion but usually create larger GIFs. A smaller width or more aggressive frame sampling reduces the number of pixels and frames, which can make long clips more manageable.
Palette and scaling quality
GIF supports a limited color palette and does not contain audio. The converter generates a palette from the uploaded video and uses Lanczos scaling to produce cleaner color and resizing results than a basic frame export.
Best source material for GIF
Short clips with simple motion, limited colors, and a modest frame size generally produce the clearest GIFs. Long, high-resolution, photographic videos can create very large files because GIF is less efficient than modern video formats.
Frequently asked questions
Does the GIF include sound?
No. GIF is an image format and the audio track from the uploaded video is not included.
How can I make the GIF smaller?
Reduce the width or FPS, or sample fewer source frames. Each option reduces the amount of image data stored in the animation.
Why can a GIF be larger than the source video?
Modern video codecs compress motion much more efficiently than GIF. A long or high-resolution animation can therefore be larger than its video source.
Can I convert video to GIF online?
Yes. Upload a video file, choose GIF as the output format, and download the converted file when processing finishes.
Which video files are supported?
Common video uploads such as MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, and MPEG are supported.
What happens to my uploaded file?
The converter processes the upload on the server. Temporary input and output files are deleted after the conversion request finishes.
