How to video to GIF
- Add the video. Drop the clip onto the tool or browse for it.
- Set the range. Choose the start and end points for the part you want to loop.
- Tune size & frame rate. Pick the output width and frames per second to balance smoothness against file size.
- Download. Render the GIF locally and save it to your device.
GIFs are the lingua franca of reactions, product demos, and bug reports — anywhere an autoplaying, looping snippet beats a full video file. Building one in the browser means even unreleased or sensitive footage stays on your machine.
The levers that matter are duration, width, and frame rate: keep the loop short and the width modest and the file stays shareable; push them up and it balloons. Trimming to the exact moment first keeps things tight.
If you need the clip as a real video rather than a GIF, use the Video converter. To cut the source down first, use Trim video, and to shrink an existing video, use Compress.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF file so large?
GIFs store many frames as images. Lowering the width, frame rate, or duration shrinks the file quickly — a few seconds at a modest size is ideal.
Can I make a GIF from just part of a video?
Yes — set start and end points so only that segment becomes the loop.
Will the GIF have sound?
No. The GIF format has no audio; the animation is silent by design.
Is my video uploaded to make the GIF?
No. Frames are extracted and encoded in your browser tab via FFmpeg; nothing is sent to a server.
