Pick a few seconds of a video and turn them into a looping GIF. You control the size and smoothness, and the video never leaves your device.
MP4, MOV and WebM work in most browsers. Play it to find the moment you want.
Set the start and end, up to fifteen seconds. A width of 480 pixels at 10 frames a second is a good balance.
It is built one frame at a time and shown to you before you save.
A GIF is a stack of pictures with no clever video compression, and each picture is limited to 256 colours. That is why a few seconds can come to several megabytes. Three things control the size: how long it is, how wide it is, and how many frames a second it has.
Halving the width cuts the file to about a quarter. Dropping from 15 to 10 frames a second cuts it by a third and still looks smooth for most clips. A shorter clip, trimmed to the exact moment, is the biggest saving of all.
GIFs have no sound. If you need sound, share the video itself, or use the Screen recorder or Video to MP3 tool instead.
No. The work happens inside this tab, on your own machine. Open your browser's network tab while you use the tool, there is no request carrying your file.
None set by us. Very large files are limited only by your device's memory, and we warn you before that becomes a problem.
No, and there is no daily limit either. There is nothing to sign up for.
Shorten it, make it narrower, or lower the frames a second. Width has the biggest effect.
No. The GIF format cannot carry sound.
Fifteen seconds. Longer clips make files that are too large to be worth sharing as a GIF.
