About Video to GIF

Video to GIF turns a short clip into a looping GIF with no audio, which plays inline everywhere — chat apps, documentation, issue trackers and email.

GIF is a heavy format, so the tool exposes frame rate and width: dropping to 12 fps and 480 px usually cuts the file by more than half.

How to use Video to GIF

  1. 1

    Upload the video

    MP4, MOV and WebM are accepted; keep clips short for a reasonable file size.

  2. 2

    Set fps and width

    10–15 fps looks fine for UI clips; 480 px fits most chat windows.

  3. 3

    Download the GIF

    Check the size — a 5-second 480 px clip is typically 1–3 MB.

Questions about Video to GIF

Why is my GIF so large?

GIF stores every frame with a limited palette. Lower fps, smaller width and a shorter range are the only real levers.

Can the GIF have sound?

No. GIF has no audio track; use MP4 if sound matters.

Is there a length limit?

No hard limit, but anything beyond 10 seconds becomes impractically large.

Will the colours look right?

GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame. Gradients may band; flat UI colours convert cleanly.
