GIFs have no sound and grow fast: keep the cut short (up to about 15 s).

MP4 plays everywhere (WhatsApp, Instagram, iPhone). WebM is for the web, MOV for Apple editing apps, MKV keeps several tracks.

About this tool

Turn a funny moment, a product demo or a screen recording into a GIF that plays anywhere, even where video does not. Drop an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV - the first 10 seconds come selected - drag the handles to the moment you want, choose the width (320, 480 or 640 px) and 8, 12 or 15 frames per second, and export. Keep it short: GIFs have no sound and grow fast. You can also crop to 1:1 or 9:16 in Size & frame. No watermark, and the video is processed by your browser and never leaves your device.

How to use it

  1. 1 Choose or drop a video.
  2. 2 Drag the two handles to the moment you want (the first 10 s come selected; shorter is smaller).
  3. 3 In Format choose the GIF width and frames per second; Size & frame can crop it square or vertical.
  4. 4 Click Export and download the GIF.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my GIF so big?

GIF stores every frame as a picture with up to 256 colours. A shorter cut, a smaller width and fewer frames per second make it much smaller.

Does the GIF have sound?

No, the GIF format has no audio. For a short clip with sound, export MP4 instead.

Is there a watermark?

No. The GIF is just your clip.

Is the video uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser.
