Runs in your browser — nothing uploaded

Turn a short clip from any video into an animated GIF — without uploading anything. This converter runs ffmpeg directly in your browser, so your MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, or AVI file is processed on your own device. Choose the start point, length, frame rate, and size, then download a shareable GIF.

Why convert to GIF in the browser

A local converter keeps your footage private and skips upload limits.

  • Your video stays private. Clips never touch a server — there is nothing to upload and nothing to delete.
  • No upload size caps.You are limited by your device's memory, not a website's upload limit.
  • Works offline. Once the engine has loaded once, it keeps working with no connection.

Getting a good, small GIF

GIF files grow quickly. To keep them shareable, trim to just the moment you want with the start time and clip length, drop the width to 320 or 480px, and use 10–15 fps — most loops look smooth without going higher. The tool builds an optimized color palette per clip, so colors stay clean at a smaller size.

Frequently asked

Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video is read directly from your device and never uploaded anywhere.
Why does the first conversion take a moment to start?
The first time you make a GIF, the browser loads the WebAssembly video engine (about 31 MB). It is cached afterward and shared with our other video and audio tools, so later runs start instantly and even work offline.
Why should I keep the clip short?
GIFs are uncompressed frame-by-frame, so long or high-frame-rate clips make very large files and use a lot of memory. Keep clips to a few seconds and use 320–480px width for shareable sizes.
