About VideoIntoGIF

VideoIntoGIF helps you turn a short video moment into a shareable GIF. Choose a local file, trim a clip, adjust its size and frame rate, then download the result. No account or watermark is required.

Built for local processing

The converter uses FFmpeg through WebAssembly in your browser. Your selected video and generated GIF remain on your device; they are not sent to a conversion server. The website and processing software still need to be downloaded. Read our privacy policy for details.

What the tool can do

Convert clips up to 20 seconds from supported MP4, MOV, WebM, and M4V files. Choose output widths from 320 to 800 pixels, frame rates from 8 to 20 fps, and whether your GIF repeats. The output keeps the source aspect ratio and does not upscale a smaller video.

Practical limits

Results depend on the source encoding, browser, and available device memory. Input limits are 100 MB on desktop and 50 MB on mobile. H.264 MP4 is a useful starting point. Keep your original file and try shorter or smaller clips if conversion fails.

Demo and open-source software

The ocean demo uses camera movement over an AI-generated photograph. It illustrates the editing workflow. Software and sample attributions are listed in our copyright information.
