Questions

How do I turn a video into a GIF?
Add your video, trim it to the part you want, pick a frame rate and width, and press Convert. Your GIF is built on your device and ready to download in seconds.
Which video formats work?
Most common formats work, including MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV. If your device can play it, it can usually be turned into a GIF.
Can I turn just part of a video into a GIF?
Yes. Set a start and end point to trim the clip, and only that section becomes the GIF. Short clips also make far smaller files.
Can I crop the video?
Yes. Pick a shape — square, wide, or tall — and the middle of the frame is kept while the edges are cut off. Leave it on Original to keep the whole picture.
Can I add text to the GIF?
Yes. Add a line of text along the top, the bottom, or both, and it is drawn into every frame — handy for captions and memes.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. Your video is never sent to a server, so your files stay private.
How do I keep the GIF file small?
Trim to a short clip, use a lower frame rate and a smaller width, and pick the Smallest quality. A few seconds at 10–15 fps and 320–480px keeps most GIFs light.
Why does the first conversion take a moment?
The first run downloads the converter into your browser. After that it is cached, so every GIF you make in the same session starts right away.
