How to use this tool
- Drop an MP4, WebM, or MOV file (or click to choose one) and wait for the preview to load.
- Set the start time and duration. Shorter clips and narrower widths make much smaller GIFs.
- Choose a frame rate and click Create GIF. You can watch progress as frames are captured.
- Preview the loop and download it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the video uploaded?
No. Frames are captured from the video in your browser and encoded as a GIF on this device.
Why is the GIF larger than the video?
GIF is an old, uncompressed-in-practice format compared with MP4. Keep duration under a few seconds and width at 320–480 pixels unless you need a larger loop.
Why not 30 fps or a 4K source?
More frames and more pixels grow the file quickly and can freeze a phone browser. This tool caps duration so everyday machines can finish the encode.
My MOV file will not play.
Some phone recordings use codecs the browser cannot decode. Export or re-save as MP4 (H.264) and try again.
