Video to GIF Converter

Choose a video from your device, enter the start and end time for a clip of 0.2 to 15 seconds, and choose the output width and frame rate. Preview the selected clip, select Convert to GIF, then download the finished animation. There is no signup or watermark.

Yes. MP4 encoded with H.264 is a useful starting point. The tool also accepts WebM, MOV and M4V files, but the video must be readable by both your browser and the converter. A filename extension alone does not identify the codec. If a file cannot be read, try an H.264 MP4 export from your video editor.

No. Your selected video is read and converted locally in your browser. The first conversion downloads a video engine of about 31 MB from Social Magnum; it does not upload your footage. Clear removes the video and result from this page. Files you have already downloaded remain on your device.

Shorten the selected clip first, then try a maximum width of 320 pixels or a frame rate of 5 fps. Fewer frames and fewer pixels usually reduce the file size. Detailed, fast-moving footage tends to produce larger files than a simple scene. Compare the downloaded result with the original; converting to GIF does not guarantee a smaller file.

Choose one video up to 50 MB, no longer than 5 minutes, and up to 4K resolution with a maximum of 4,096 pixels on either side. Select a GIF clip between 0.2 and 15 seconds. Output width is capped at 320, 480 or 640 pixels, and output height at 640 pixels. GIF downloads over 30 MB are rejected with advice to reduce the settings.

No. GIF is an image format and does not carry an audio track. The exported animation loops continuously without sound. Keep or edit the MP4 if speech, music or other audio is important to the clip.

GIF uses a limited color palette and the selected frame rate, so gradients, motion and fine detail can change. The tool preserves the aspect ratio without upscaling. The selected trim is re-encoded, and the duration is rounded to output frame intervals. Review the preview and downloaded file before publishing.

The layout works on small screens, but conversion depends on browser codec support and available memory. Start with a short, small video on a phone. If conversion fails or times out, choose a smaller file or try a desktop browser. Large videos need more memory even when the selected GIF is short.

No. This tool converts a video file you choose from your own device. It does not fetch videos from URLs. Use footage you own or have permission to reuse.

GIF works well for short silent demonstrations, reactions and loops where the destination supports animation. Keep a video for longer clips, sound, smoother motion or more efficient compression. Some social platforms treat GIFs differently or require a video upload, so check the destination before publishing.
