Video to GIF converts a short video segment of up to 60 seconds directly in your browser into an animated GIF. Quality profiles — Balanced, Compact, High quality, or Custom — control frame rate, maximum edge length, color count, and dithering method (Bayer 4×4, Floyd–Steinberg, or none).
Typical searches include convert video to GIF, MP4 to GIF, and create animated GIF. Processing runs locally in the browser. GIFs contain no audio, support a maximum of 256 colors, and can end up larger than the original video for long or detailed clips — short segments give the best results.
Typical use cases
Create short highlights for chats or forums
Convert a short, punchy video clip into a GIF that's easy to embed in chats, forums, or presentations.
Balance image quality against file size
Use the “Compact” profile for small files in chats, and “High quality” when sharpness matters more than file size.
Use an endless loop for demos or loops
Choose endless looping for a continuously repeating animation, or once if the GIF should stop after one pass.
Tips for better results
Short segments give the best results
Since GIFs store each frame largely uncompressed, they grow quickly for long or detailed clips — keep the segment as short as possible.
Adjust dithering for gradients
Floyd–Steinberg dithering often smooths gradients better than Bayer 4×4 or no dithering with a limited color count — try both if color banding is visible.

Loop once or endlessly
Choose whether the GIF stops after one pass or repeats endlessly.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is the segment limited to 60 seconds?
GIFs store each frame largely uncompressed; longer segments would create very large, unwieldy files.
Does the GIF contain sound?
No. The GIF format doesn't support audio; only the picture is carried over.
Are my videos uploaded?
No. Conversion runs entirely locally in the browser; the files never leave your device.
