About the Video to GIF Converter
GIF is an inefficient format — a few seconds of video can become several megabytes — so keep clips short, drop the frame rate to around 10–15 fps and reduce the width. Those three levers control almost all of the final file size. Conversion happens in your browser, so the video is never uploaded, though longer clips will take a moment to process on slower devices.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF compresses poorly. Shorten the clip, lower the frame rate to 10–15 fps and reduce the width.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and the file stays on your device.
How long a clip can I convert?
Short clips work best — a few seconds. Longer videos produce very large files and take longer to process.
Is this a full GIF maker?
Yes, for the common case: pick the section of the clip you want, set the frame rate and width, and it produces the finished GIF. As a browser-based maker it suits short clips — the whole conversion runs on your machine, so a very long video will be slow.
