GIF limits
This browser-only version is best for clips up to 6s, 72 frames, and 480px width. Shorter clips generate faster and stay smaller.
Use GIF when you need a short looping animation for chat threads, documentation, bug reports, changelogs, or tutorials where autoplaying silent motion is more useful than a full video player.
Keep clips short and use a modest width because GIF files become large very quickly compared with MP4 or WebM.
GIF is an older animation format with limited color depth and large file sizes compared with MP4 or WebM. Long clips, high frame rates, and wide outputs quickly produce files that are hard to share.
For the best results, isolate one action, keep the frame rate modest, and use an output width between 240px and 360px unless the extra detail is necessary.
A short 3-second product demo, UI hover state, or bug reproduction clip often works well as a GIF because viewers can understand it at a glance without opening a media player.
This tool extracts frames from the video with browser APIs and encodes the GIF locally on your device. The browser must still be able to decode the uploaded video format, so support can vary between MP4, WebM, and MOV files.
The browser seeks through the clip, captures frames on a canvas, maps the frames to a 256-color palette, and writes a GIF file locally. That makes it convenient for short demos, but it also explains why long or detailed clips grow large very quickly.
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser with video, canvas, and GIF encoding code. Your video is not uploaded or stored by this tool.
GIF files store animation inefficiently compared with modern video. Reduce the clip duration, output width, or frame rate to make a smaller file.
The browser must support the video codec inside the file. If a MOV or MP4 does not load, try exporting it as a browser-compatible MP4 first.
Keep MP4 or WebM when the clip is long, visually detailed, or needs much smaller file sizes. GIF is best for short loops and simple motion.
