Convert MP4, WebM or MOV to GIF by picking the clip range, width and frames per second. The video engine (ffmpeg compiled for the browser) runs locally — perfect for memes, product demos and previews without queue-and-watermark websites.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ideal GIF size?

GIFs get heavy fast: 480px width at 10 fps is the classic balance of smoothness and weight. For social media, keep clips under 10 seconds.

Why is the first conversion slower?

On first use the browser downloads the ffmpeg engine (~30 MB) and caches it. On later runs, only the conversion time applies.

Is there a video length limit?

Processing is local, so the limit is device memory. We recommend input videos up to ~2 minutes, trimming the desired clip in the tool itself.
