How to use Video to GIF Converter

Load your video, trim to the section you want, set the frame rate and width, and export — the animated GIF downloads ready to share.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my GIF file so large?

GIF is an old, relatively inefficient format — reducing the frame rate (10-15fps is usually plenty) and the output width (400-500px for social sharing) are the two most effective ways to shrink it.

Can I trim the clip before converting?

Yes, set the start and end points on the source video first so only the section you want becomes the GIF.

Does the GIF loop automatically?

Yes, standard animated GIFs loop by default in every browser, messaging app and social platform that supports them.
