Video to GIF Converter

Choose a video, mark where the clip starts and how long it runs, and the tool steps through it frame by frame, draws each frame at the width you pick and encodes the result as an animated GIF. Everything happens in this tab: the video is read through your browser's own decoder and nothing is uploaded.

Each frame gets its own palette of up to 256 colours, so a clip that cuts from a red scene to a blue one keeps both. GIF still cannot show more than 256 colours in one frame, so smooth gradients and skin tones band slightly; that is the format, not a setting. Sound is dropped because GIF has no audio track.

A GIF stores every frame as a full image, which is why the file grows quickly. Halving the width cuts the size to roughly a quarter, and 10 frames per second is usually enough for a reaction clip or a screen-recording demo. To keep memory in check a GIF is limited to 300 frames; the frame count shown before converting tells you if the clip will be cut.

Frame delays in a GIF are stored in hundredths of a second, so 15 fps becomes a 7-hundredths delay (about 14.3 fps) and 12 fps becomes 8 (12.5 fps). Which formats open depends on your browser: MP4 (H.264), WebM and MOV usually work, while HEVC or MKV files may not play in every browser, and the tool says so instead of producing a blank GIF.
