Why convert video to GIF?
Turn clips from your phone, screen recorder or camera into animated GIFs, whatever the video format. This converter accepts MP4, M4V, MOV, WEBM, MKV and AVI, and creates a looping GIF with an optimized color palette, ready to drop into a chat, a document or a web page.
- You recorded your screen (often WEBM or MKV) and want a GIF for a bug report or tutorial.
- You filmed something on an iPhone (MOV) and want to share it as a looping animation.
- You need an animation that plays automatically without a video player.
Tips for the best result
- The GIF uses up to the first 30 seconds, at 480 pixels wide and 12 frames per second.
- Trim your clip to the exact moment first for the smallest, sharpest GIF.
- For long clips, consider the video compressor instead: a small MP4 looks better than a large GIF.
