Questions
How do I turn a video into a GIF?
Drop the video into the converter at the top of this page, set where the clip starts and how long it is, choose the width and frame rate, and press Make GIF. The GIF appears right on the page, ready to download. Nothing is uploaded.
Can I convert MP4 to GIF for free?
Yes. It's free, with no sign-up and no watermark. MP4, MOV, WEBM and MKV files work, as long as your browser can decode the video inside.
How long can the GIF be?
Up to 15 seconds. GIFs get large fast, so short clips at 480 px and 10 frames per second are the sweet spot for chats and websites.
Why is my GIF so big?
A GIF stores every frame as a picture with up to 256 colors, so size grows with length, width and frame rate. Make the clip shorter, pick 320 px or 10 fps to shrink it.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The frames are read and the GIF is built on your own computer, inside the browser tab.
