Why use this GIF maker

How to convert a video to GIF

  1. Select your video Click "Choose a video" or drag an MP4, MOV, or WebM file into the drop area.
  2. Trim the clip Set a start and end point to keep just the section you want to animate.
  3. Set fps and width Pick a frame rate and width — lower values make a smaller, lighter GIF.
  4. Convert and download The GIF is built locally in your browser; save it straight to your device.

Your video never leaves your browser

Every step runs locally on your device. The video is decoded with WebCodecs, frames are drawn on a canvas, and the GIF is assembled entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, and we never see or store your files. We collect only anonymous, aggregated usage statistics (such as whether a conversion succeeds) to improve the tool, never your video, filenames, or any personal data.

Verify it yourself: Open your browser DevTools → Network tab and run the tool: no request ever carries your file. Everything happens on your device.

FAQ

Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The entire conversion runs in your browser on your own device, so your video is never uploaded.
Which video formats can I convert?
You can convert MP4, MOV, and WebM clips. The output is always an animated GIF.
Why is a short clip recommended?
GIFs store every frame as an image, so long or high-resolution clips create very large files and use a lot of memory. Trimming keeps the result manageable.
How do fps and width affect the GIF?
A higher frame rate looks smoother, and a larger width keeps more detail — but both increase the file size. Lower values make a smaller GIF.
Why is desktop recommended?
Decoding video and building a GIF is memory-intensive. A desktop handles longer or higher-resolution clips far better than most phones.
Will the GIF have sound?
No. The GIF format does not support audio, so the result is silent. Use a video-to-MP3 tool if you need the sound separately.
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
No. It runs in a modern browser with WebCodecs support — no installation, no account, and no watermark.
