About the Video to GIF
Video to GIF turns a short section of a video into an animated GIF. Choose where it starts, how long it runs, the frame rate and the width, and it makes a smooth, shareable loop. All processing happens in your browser with ffmpeg (WebAssembly), so your video is never uploaded — it is private and free with no watermark. It works best on short clips, since the work runs on your device rather than a server.
GIFs are best kept short and small — a few seconds at a modest width — because the format grows large quickly. Higher frame rates and widths look smoother but make a bigger file, so it is a balance.
Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. The GIF is made entirely in your browser; your clip stays on your device.
How long should the GIF be?
Keep it short — a few seconds. GIFs grow large fast, so a short clip at a modest width stays a sensible size.
What do frame rate and width do?
Higher frame rate is smoother; wider is bigger on screen. Both increase the file size, so balance smoothness against size.
Does it have sound?
No. GIFs cannot contain audio, so the result is silent. For sound, keep the video or extract the audio separately.
