How it works
- Add one video. Any video your browser can play will work.
- Play the video, and use "Use current position" to set where the clip starts and ends.
- Choose the width, frame rate and colours. The number of frames is shown, and must be 150 or fewer.
- Press Create GIF, watch the progress, then download the result.
FAQ
- Why only 150 frames?
- A GIF stores every frame as a whole picture, so long clips make very large files. At 8 frames a second, 150 frames is about 19 seconds. Lower the frame rate or shorten the clip to fit.
- Which video files can I use?
- The ones your own browser can play. MP4 and WebM usually work everywhere, and some browsers also play MOV. If the player shows nothing, the browser cannot read that file.
- Is there sound?
- No. GIF files have no sound.
- How do I make the file smaller?
- Use a smaller width, a lower frame rate, fewer colours or a shorter clip. Each of them helps a lot.
- Is my video uploaded?
- No. The video is played and read in your browser, and nothing leaves your device.
