Video to GIF settings: examples
For a short screen recording, start with a 4-second clip at 320 pixels wide and 8 FPS. For smoother motion, try 10–12 FPS; for smaller files, lower the dimensions or duration. GIF has no audio and uses a limited colour palette.
Supported video formats
MP4 to GIF and WebM to GIF are supported when the browser can decode the file. MOV to GIF depends on browser and codec compatibility. The current converter is intended for short clips, not full-length videos.
Why use this free GIF maker?
The tool converts video frames inside your browser, so your selected clip is not uploaded to our conversion server. It adds no watermark and does not require an account. Browser memory and codec support can affect results, particularly on mobile devices.
