Convert video to an animated GIF online
Turn a short video clip into a looping animated GIF that plays automatically in browsers, chats, docs and social posts — no audio and no player needed. This free tool converts MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, FLV, WMV, 3GP, WEBM and MPG to GIF right in your browser.
Runs locally, nothing uploaded
Conversion uses WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm) and stays entirely on your device — no upload, no account, no watermark and no limit on how many GIFs you make.
Trim size and frame rate
Because GIFs grow large quickly, you can lower the resolution and frame rate to keep the file small. Short clips at a moderate frame rate make the best, smallest animated GIFs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a video into a GIF?
Open the tool, add your MP4, MOV or other video file, choose GIF as the output and click convert. The animated GIF is created in your browser and downloads instantly.
Is the video to GIF converter free?
Yes, completely free — no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number or size of files.
Does the GIF keep the audio?
No — GIF is an image format with no sound. Converting a video to GIF keeps only the moving frames, which is why GIFs are ideal for short, silent loops.
Are my videos uploaded to a server?
No. Processing runs locally in your browser through WebAssembly, so your videos never leave your device.
Why is my GIF file so large?
GIF stores every frame as an image with a limited colour palette, so long or high-resolution clips become big. Lowering the resolution, frame rate or length keeps the GIF small.
What is the best length for a GIF?
Short loops of a few seconds work best — they stay small, load fast and loop smoothly. For anything longer or with sound, MP4 or WEBM is usually a better choice.
