Turn a short scene into a looping GIF. Adjust size and smoothness, check the actual file size, and save.
Drag and drop or use the button below
MP4 · MOV · WEBM · MKV · AVI · MPG · MPEG · 1 file · 200MiB / 30 sec selection maxOpen one video and select the start and end of a short scene.
Choose Compact, Balanced, or Smooth, or adjust image size and frame rate yourself.
Create the GIF, review its actual size and animation, and download. Lower settings and create again if needed.
Input: MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, MPG, MPEG. Output: a silent looping GIF. Support depends on the video's internal codec.
Desktop limits: 200MiB, 30 sec, 640px, 20fps / mobile: 50MiB, 15 sec, 480px, 15fps
Use Video to GIF to share a short software demonstration or a moving moment as an image. Start with a five-second selection and Balanced settings. Change the range or size and create another result without reopening the source.
GIF is not always smaller than video. Duration, dimensions, movement, and changing colors affect the file size. Toolit shows the actual output size alongside a looping preview so you can check a site's upload limit and lower settings if needed.
Start with only the seconds you need. Compact uses 320px and 8fps; Balanced uses 480px and 12fps. Smooth uses 20fps on desktop or 15fps on mobile. Image size refers to the longer edge and preserves the source aspect ratio.
The source player helps you choose a scene. The looping image shown after Create GIF is the actual output. Colors and motion can differ from the original, so review this result before downloading.
Your video is not uploaded. The first run downloads the processing engine and needs an internet connection. Reading and converting footage uses device memory; trim a large source or prepare a lower-resolution copy first.
A specific size is not guaranteed. Check the result, then shorten the selection or lower dimensions and frame rate if it is too large. Simple and busy scenes can have very different sizes at the same settings.
MP4 and GIF store motion differently. MP4 is efficient at video compression and can be smaller at the same duration and dimensions. If the destination accepts video, a short MP4 may offer better quality at a smaller size.
No. GIF is an image format without audio. Use the video trimmer to save an MP4 when sound matters.
Yes. The converter preserves aspect ratio and applies video rotation metadata while limiting the longer edge. Some phone codecs may not preview or convert. Try exporting a compatible MP4 copy from the original app.
This tool is for short scenes: up to 30 seconds on desktop and 15 seconds on mobile. High-resolution footage or limited device memory can still cause failure within the input limits, so start with a short, small video.
