Quick Tool Overview

The Video to GIF Converter captures a section of a video and encodes it as an animated GIF. Start point, length, frame rate and width are all adjustable with the estimated file size updating as you change them, because GIF gets expensive fast — every frame is stored in full. No upload, no account, no watermark.

About the Video to GIF Converter

Making a GIF from a video means choosing three things and living with the consequences: which few seconds, how many frames per second, and how large.

All three are here with the file size updating as you change them, because GIF gets expensive very quickly — every frame is stored in full, so doubling the frame rate roughly doubles the file. Scrub to the start point, set a length, and the frames are captured from the video element onto a canvas and encoded in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, which matters given how many of these are made from personal footage, and nothing is watermarked.

Key features of the Video to GIF Converter

Scrub to the exact moment

Pick the start frame by eye rather than by typing a timestamp and hoping.

Size shown before you commit

Frame rate, width and duration each move the estimate, so an unusable 20 MB GIF is avoided rather than discovered.

No watermark

Nothing is drawn onto the output and no account is needed, which is unusual for this particular tool.

Nothing uploaded

Frames are captured from the video element onto a canvas locally, which matters given how much of this is personal footage.

Suggests the better option

For anything over a couple of seconds the page points out that a looping WebM is a tenth the size.

Frequently asked questions

Because GIF stores every frame in full with no motion compression. Cutting the frame rate, the dimensions or the duration all reduce the size roughly proportionally.
