How to convert a video to a GIF

Pick your clip, dial in the size, and download — all in your browser.

  1. 1

    Drop in your video

    Drag in or browse for an MP4, WebM or MOV. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Choose frame rate and width

    Pick 5, 10 or 15 fps and a max width of 240, 360 or 480px. Lower settings make a smaller, lighter GIF.

  3. 3

    Set the start and end

    Trim to the moment you want. Keep the clip under about 30 seconds — GIFs get big fast.

  4. 4

    Convert to GIF

    Hit Convert and watch the progress bar as each frame is captured and encoded right in your browser.

  5. 5

    Preview and download

    See the finished GIF and its file size, then download it ready to share anywhere.

Video to GIF — FAQ

Is this video to GIF converter really free?

Yes — convert as many clips as you like, free, with no signup and no watermark. An optional Pro membership (NZ$9/mo) adds batch conversion and longer clips, but the free tool is fully usable on its own.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Your video is read, the frames are captured on a canvas, and the GIF is encoded entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device — there is no server and nothing is stored online.

Which video formats can I convert?

Anything your browser can play — typically MP4, WebM and MOV. If a clip will not load, try re-saving it as MP4 (H.264) first.

Why is my GIF so large?

GIFs grow fast with length, frame rate and width. For a small, share-friendly file, keep the clip short, drop to 10 or even 5 fps, and choose a 240px or 360px width.

Can I use it for a property reel or social clip?

Absolutely — it is great for turning a quick Auckland listing walkthrough, a demo, or a reaction into a looping GIF for Facebook, Instagram or your website. No app to install.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes — it runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser. Drop in a clip from your camera roll and convert on the spot.
