Video to GIF Converter — Trim & Convert Online

Upload a video, trim it to the clip you want, and convert it into an animated GIF — all processed frame by frame in your browser. Choose a frame rate and output width to balance smoothness against file size. Useful for turning a screen recording into a shareable GIF, making a short reaction clip, or previewing a demo without needing a video player. Clips are capped at 20 seconds to keep processing fast and the output size reasonable.

All processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there a 20-second clip limit?
GIFs encode every frame as a full image with no video-style compression, so file size and processing time grow fast with clip length. Capping the trim range keeps conversions quick and the output size reasonable.
Why does the GIF look lower quality than the source video?
GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame and doesn't support the smooth compression video codecs use, so some color banding and detail loss is normal. Lowering the frame rate less aggressively and keeping the width modest usually gives the best-looking result for the file size.
What video formats can I upload?
Any format your browser can play in an HTML5 <video> element — MP4 (H.264) and WebM are the safest choices. If a file won't load, try re-exporting it as MP4.
