Turn a video into a GIF on Android
Pick a clip, trim it, and save a GIF — in the browser you already have. No app to install, no permissions to grant, and your video stays on your phone.
Drag & drop a video here, or choose one below
MP4, MOV, WebM and more · up to 300 MB · stays on your device
Large files load slowly since everything runs on your device — trim to just the part you need for the fastest result.
How it works on your phone
- Tap Choose video and pick a clip.
- Set a start and end time to keep just the part you want.
- Pick a size, add a caption if you like, then tap Convert to GIF.
- Tap Download GIF, then share it from your downloads.
Nothing to install, nothing to allow
The GIF makers in the app store want an install, storage access, and often a subscription before they'll drop the watermark. This is a page. You hand it a single file through the picker, it makes your GIF on the phone itself, and when you close the tab nothing is left behind — no account, no library access, no background app.
If the file comes out too heavy
Phone video is recorded at a high resolution, and a GIF keeps every frame as its own picture. Trim to a few seconds before anything else, then use Balanced at 480px for chats or Smaller at 240px when you need it tiny.

Questions
- How do I turn a video into a GIF on Android?
- Open this page in your browser, tap Choose video and pick a clip, set a start and end time, then tap Convert to GIF and download it.
- Does it work on Samsung, or on a Pixel?
- Yes. It's a web page rather than an app, so it doesn't care which phone you have or which version of Android it's running.
- Do I have to give it access to my photos?
- No. You hand it one file through the normal picker, and that's all it ever sees. There are no permissions to grant and no app sitting on your phone afterwards.
- Where does the GIF end up?
- Your browser saves it with your other downloads. From there you can share it into any app the usual way.
- Is my video sent anywhere?
- No. The conversion runs on your phone, so the video never leaves it — and no one else ever sees it.
- The GIF came out too big. What now?
- Trim it shorter first, since length costs the most. Then drop to the Smaller preset, which uses 240px and 10 fps. The size is shown next to the download button each time.
